            Bug ID: 44317
           Summary: -Wconversion warning not detecting potential overflow
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Frontend
          Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: leonardchan at google.com

Given the following code:

```
typedef short unsigned int uint16_t;

uint16_t func(uint16_t x, uint16_t mask) {
  x += ~mask;
  return x;
}
```

GCC is able to emit a warning with `-Wconversion` on the `x += ~mask` which can
cause an unexpected overflow. We do not get any similar warning with
`-Wconversion` on clang though, which would be nice to have.
