/facepalm So yes, digest_init calls convert_for_initialization which will end up calling perform_implicit_conversion_flags which could call convert_like_real where the narrowing warnings are given, but it doesn't, we go to this case: else if (processing_template_decl && conv->kind != ck_identity) { /* In a template, we are only concerned about determining the type of non-dependent expressions, so we do not have to perform the actual conversion. But for initializers, we need to be able to perform it at instantiation (or instantiate_non_dependent_expr) time. */ expr = build1 (IMPLICIT_CONV_EXPR, type, expr); finish_decltype_type throws away the expression because it's not dependent, and only uses its type. So narrowing remains undetected. Not sure if I should mess with perform_implicit_conversion_flags.
