Most of these are just warnings of declarations which are not
correct, duplicate or missing.
However, the conversion warnings are a bit overdone maybe, but I
know of compilers which gives these warnings default.
IMHO, it is wise to check the sizes and so to make them
unsigned. However, I guess an unsigned int is enough where
in most cases an unsigned long is used.
For instance, I also saw once that an octet string function is
checked where the length value given as parameter is 0. If so the
function returns otherwise does things. However, it it never
tested if the value is negative and that was very well possible.
