GCC - shouldn't a warning be issued when assigning an int to a char?

Question

I\'ve recently set up a MinGW + MSYS environment on my laptop to check how things are with Netbeans C/C++ support. Everything seems to work fine, however, during my testing

Answer 1

I think it falls under the "Usual arithmetic conversions" (6.3.1.8) or "integer promotion rules" (5.1.2.3 (?)), but I can't find the specific text that says the behaviour you're seeing is expected.
