Re: [PATCH]: warrning fix: unsigned->signed

I uses gcc "trunk" with -Wconversion,
because of they finaly implement warrning for such things:
uint16_t a;
uint8_t b;
b = a;
see

The patch seems OK, but I'm curious to know why you're seeing this warning
and nobody else is. Are you using a compiler other than gcc? If gcc,
which version? Did you add any new compiler options?

Thanks.
