I was worried about confusing diagnostics output.  But after thinking 
about it, it will not matter.

I made the change in the attached patch.

I moved the integer promotions to the start of the macro.  As a result, 
it now works with bit fields, too.  I adjusted the comments and variable 
names further down, too.  Please have a look and tell me if this 
addresses your concerns.

(I still think that a pure run-time check is conceptually simpler, 
covers more cases, and is a reasonable compromise for a test case.)

This should work now.

Thanks,
Florian

Thanks, this implementation looks good. Two minor style issues. First, 
please indent this decl according to the usual glibc style, where 
multiline expressions are parenthesized (or perhaps you can put the " = 
" on the next line). Second, I suggest changing the name from 
"__left_converts_to_right" to "__unsigned_left_converts_to_wider", as 
this more-accurately describes the expression (as there are cases where 
the left's value is converted to the right's type but 
__left_converts_to_right is false). Similarly for 
__right_converts_to_left of course.
