no warns in foo() but warns in bar()

$ cat x.c
int snprintf (char*, __SIZE_TYPE__, const char*, ...);

void foo(unsigned j, char *p)
{
    if(j > 999)
        return;
    snprintf(p, 4, "%3u", j);
}

void bar(int j, char *p)
{
    const unsigned k = (unsigned) j;
    if(k > 999)
        return;
    snprintf(p, 4, "%3u", k);
}

$ gcc -Wall -c -O2 x.c
x.c: In function ‘bar’:
