Workaround is to use CPPFLAGS="-std=gnu++98".

clipper-2.1.20140911-gcc6.patch

I don't actually use this package but it should be as simple as switching int to unsigned.  Still, someone should make sure that dependent packages work fine.
Comment 2 David Seifert gentoo-dev 2016-09-14 20:43:01 UTC
@Peter, thanks for the patch, but you're actively changing the semantics of the code. Changing a signed to an unsigned int could have catastrophic consequences. Instead, the proper way to approach these C++14 narrowing issues is to add explicit casts to the actual type (int in this case), such that the previous C++98 behaviour is restored. While this code is still pretty smelly as such, at least the semantics remain the same between -std=c++98 and -std=c++14. Have a look at how Aric fixes the -Wnarrowing conversions in C++14 mode: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585556

I agree.  Tentatively, it looked like the signage was irrelevant to its use but it is better to be true to the original behavior if it caused no breakage.
