build: Add -Wsign-conversion to CXXFLAGS
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
-Wsign-conversion is by default enabled in Clang with -Wconversion,
but disabled in GCC. Unintented type coercion can misinterpret the
sign as in:

    libdnf5-cli/output/transaction_table.cpp:181:97: error: conversion to ‘long unsigned int’ from ‘int’ may change the sign of the result [-Werror=sign-conversion]
      181 |        P_(" Skipping:        {:4} package\n", " Skipping:        {:4} packages\n", skips), skips)
          |                                                                                    ^~~~~

This would be missed when compiling with GCC, but causing a build
failure with Clang.

This patch brings GCC and Clang compilers in line, both to enable
-Wsign-conversion. However, it disables the warning for SWIG-generated
bindings as the generated code violates the warning many times, like
here for Perl:

    bindings/perl5/libdnf5/CMakeFiles/perl5_advisory.dir/advisoryPERL_wrap.cxx:700:36: error: conversion to ‘long unsigned int’ from ‘long int’ may change the sign of the result [-Werror=sign-conversion]
      700 |   if (strlen(name) + 1 > (bsz - (r - buff))) return 0;
          |                                 ~~~^~~~~~~
