yes, but this require to git blame every time you look at the source.

definitively, but there are also multiple arithmetic on the same
source.

If int is 64 bit (uint32_t) 3 - (uint32_t) 4294967295 == -4294967292.
It seems weird but is due to the integral promotion rules.
Similar to
   printf("%d\n", (uint16_t) 10 - (uint16_t) 16);
which give -6 (but maybe some people could point out that this result is
not portable either... from my knowledge it is).
