Comment at: clang/test/SemaCXX/varargs.cpp:34
   enum Unscoped1 { One = 0x7FFFFFFF };
-  (void)__builtin_va_arg(ap, Unscoped1); // ok
+  (void)__builtin_va_arg(ap, Unscoped1); // expected-warning {{second argument to 'va_arg' is of promotable type 'Unscoped1'; this va_arg has undefined behavior because arguments will be promoted to 'int'}}

Although I guess the warning is now wrong because even though `void f(int x, ...) { std::va_list ap; va_start(ap, x); va_arg(ap, Unscoped1); }` `f(0, Unscoped1{2})` would be UB, `f(0, 2u)` would not be UB.

The user still should be warned about it, so I could create a new warning "second argument to 'va_arg' is of promotable enumeration type 'Unscoped1'; this va_arg may have undefined behavior because arguments of this enumeration type will be promoted to 'int', not the underlying type 'unsigned int'", and maybe suggest a fix `Unscoped1{va_arg(ap, unsigned)}`.

Or we could ignore it and pretend that int and enums with underlying types unsigned are compatible for the purposes of va_arg
