People who are marginally familiar with integer promotion will not be
surprised to know that the program prints "256". What is surprising to
me is that this produced neither error nor warning.
The comparable program in C++, when compiled with gcc, correctly warns
about signed/unsigned comparison (though, to be fair, it seems that
clang doesn't).
While this particular issue can and should be addressed in the compiler
(see my other reply), in the mean time how about trying out my
`checkedint` DUB package?
I'm afraid that paying run-time cost to verify correctness is out of the
question for the type of product weka is building.
