Testcase

Using the attached testcase, clang doesn't output any warnings when comparing
an unsigned int against a literal that is too big in size. Compile Flags:

dtscode at dtscode-laptop:~/Desktop$ clang unsigned-test.c -o unsigned-test -Wall
-Wextra -pedantic -Wtype-limits
dtscode at dtscode-laptop:~/Desktop$

using similar flags in gcc (with the addition of -std=c99 since I'm a few
releases behind):

dtscode at dtscode-laptop:~/Desktop$ gcc -std=c99 unsigned-test.c -o unsigned-test
-Wall -Wextra -pedantic
unsigned-test.c: In function ‘main’:
unsigned-test.c:5:3: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of
data type [-Wtype-limits]
   for (unsigned int i=0; i<=4294967295; i++) sum++;
   ^
