        <pre>With Serus's help in IRC, the following issue was discovered:

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits>

template<typename T>
T mul(T a, T b) {
  printf("%u * %u", a, b);
  T c = a * b;
  printf(" = %u\n", c);
  return c;
}

int main(int argc, char *[]) {
    mul(static_cast<unsigned char>(argc), std::numeric_limits<unsigned
char>::max());
    return 0;
}


GCC output:

An alternative variant of the testcase, on which clang does warn:
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits>

  auto c = a * b;

  printf(" = %u\n", c);
  return d;
}

int main(int argc, char *[]) {
    mul(static_cast<unsigned char>(argc), std::numeric_limits<unsigned
char>::max());
    return 0;
}
