The middle-end here has nothing to do with it, this is all C/C++ standard behavior and nothing else. look the C standard does not talk about "=?:" but only the types of ?: and = separately. unsigned is higher in the promotion than signed int which is where the warning comes from and the type of the whole expression (a?i:j) is unsigned because that the lowest type which both can be promoted to. then there is an explicate cast from unsigned to int because we are assigning to an int. This again has nothing to do with the middle-end and just the rules in C/C++ of how to deal with the different type objects in the "?:". -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19437
