Hi Andrew,

We don't enable -Wsign-conversion in GDAL builds, hence it went under the radar. That said nothing wrong in you enabling it for your own code.

I've fixed the issue in https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/13785 and also added a CI check so that our exported headers pass -Wsign-conversion

Even

The recent commit 76ade06580d5f6b4f710d41214647abf36be9fdc
includes this change:

@@ -279,6 +299,13 @@ class CPL_DLL CPLJSONArray : public CPLJSONObject
     /*! @endcond */
   public:
     int Size() const;
+
+    //! Return the size of the array
+    inline size_t size() const
+    {
+        return Size();
+    }
+
     void AddNull();
     void Add(const CPLJSONObject &oValue);
     void Add(const std::string &osValue);

I usually build my driver with clang++ -Werror -Wsign-conversion
but this compile is catching the change:

clang++-22 -fPIC -I/usr/local/gdal/git.llvm/include -Weffc++ -g -Og -Wall -Wextra -DFRMT_vrc -DVRC_STANDALONE -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Weverything -Wno-c++17-attribute-extensions -Wno-error=unknown-warning-option -Wno-format-pedantic -Wno-c++98-compat -Wno-c++98-compat-pedantic -Wno-padded -Wno-reserved-identifier -Werror=incompatible-function-pointer-types -Wno-unsafe-buffer-usage -Wno-error=unknown-warning-option

Am I wrong to be using -Wsign-conversion even though it has worked
until now ?

Thanks,
