Which way do you like it? The way RHEL does it or the rest of the world?
With RHEL, with *and* without using -Wconversion, the following happens:
int i;
long l = 42;
double d = 42;
i = l; # No warning here
i = d; # Warning here
With Ubuntu, with -Wconversion, the following happens:
int i;
long l = 42;
double d = 42;
i = l; # Warning here
i = d; # Warning here
With Ubuntu, without -Wconversion, you get *no* warnings.
This inconsistency is a problem.
