Implicit conversions
When an expression is used in the context where a value of a different type is expected, conversion may occur:

- integer or real floating type to double
- integer type to float (the only real type possible is float, which remains as-is)
- If the types are the same, that type is the common type.
- Else, the types are different:
- If the types have the same signedness (both signed or both unsigned), the operand whose type has the lesser conversion rank1 is implicitly converted2 to the other type.
- Else, the operands have different signedness:
- If the unsigned type has conversion rank greater than or equal to the rank of the signed type, then the operand with the signed type is implicitly converted to the unsigned type.
- Else, the unsigned type has conversion rank less than the signed type:
- If the signed type can represent all values of the unsigned type, then the operand with the unsigned type is implicitly converted to the signed type.
- Else, both operands undergo implicit conversion to the unsigned type counterpart of the signed operand's type.

Pointer conversions
A pointer to void can be implicitly converted to and from any pointer to object type with the following semantics:
- If a pointer to object is converted to a pointer to void and back, its value compares equal to the original pointer.
- No other guarantees are offered

On the other hand, although unsigned integer overflow in any arithmetic operator (and in integer conversion) is a well-defined operation and follows the rules of modulo arithmetic, overflowing an unsigned integer in a floating-to-integer conversion is undefined behavior: the values of real floating type that can be converted to unsigned integer are the values from the open interval (-1; Unnn_MAX+1).
unsigned int n = -1.0; // undefined behavior
