> The compiler _clang_ (5.0.1) reports:{code}warning: implicit conversion from 'int' to 'char' changes value from 191 to -65 [-Wconstant-conversion]{code}This happens at six places (four modules) in the current Asterisk source code. In all cases, the integer value is a byte/flag actually. Two approaches are known to solve this:
> A) change the literal to hexadecimal, for example {{*p++ = 191}} to {{*p++ = 0xbf}}
> B) change the type to {{unsigned char}} for example {{char frame\[4\]}} to {{unsigned char frame\[4\]}}.
> Approach B is to prefer when possible†, [see...|http://www.soundsoftware.ac.uk/c-pitfall-unsigned]
> † The ABI does not change, for example in case of local variables.
