Gcc indeed doesn't seem to complain, however, there was a reason why I remembered there was a warning, and it's a different compiler. Borland C 3.1 has such a warning.

Update: I recreated a variant of the screenshot I've linked to and made a text export. Non-ascii characters are wrong so the image I linked to is still better, but I copy the text version here in case you can't view the image and because it's not hosted on perlmonks.
