[previous] 3795 [next] Implicit conversion: unsigned long to long.
Arithmetic type - Implicit conversions

An expression of type unsigned long is being implicitly converted to type signed long. A conversion of this type is dangerous because the value may not be representable in this signed type.

Implicit type conversions of this nature can occur in the context of:

extern void ef(signed long f);

extern signed long foo(unsigned long n)
{
    signed long f = n;          /* Message 3795 - Initialization */

    f = n;                      /* Message 3795 - Assignment */

    ef(n);                      /* Message 3795 - Function argument */

    return n;                   /* Message 3995 - Function return */
}
