You did not understand what -Wtraditional-conversion does: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html -Wtraditional-conversion (C and Objective-C only) Warn if a prototype causes a type conversion that is different from what would happen to the same argument in the absence of a prototype. It means that, if there was no prototype for foobar, there would be a type conversion different from what occurs given the prototype, and that is what Wtraditional-conversion warns. What you want is -Wconversion. http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/NewWconversion Cheers, Manuel.
