I have this definition using NSUInteger

-(id)initWithXExtent:(NSUInteger)xExtent yExtent:(NSUInteger) yExtent;

and I was stupidly calling it like this

GameBoard *gb = [ [ GameBoard alloc ] initWithXExtent:5 yExtent:-10 ];

and I didn't get a warning and spent 5 minutes trying to figure out
why my yExtent was totally screwed up. I'm using -Wall, -Wextra - Winit-
self -Wundeclared-selector which normally complains about everything,
but not this. NSUInteger is just a typedef isn't it, so this is really
unsigned int / int and I was expecting a warning. Have I missed a
warning flag or is there some NSUInteger artifact I'm not aware of?

I have way more warnings than that enabled and I don't get a warning either. I don't think there is one. File a bug.

-Wconversion will warn about this ("Also, warn if a negative integer constant expression is implicitly converted to an unsigned type.") But -Wconversion generates other undesirable and unavoidable warnings, so you probably can't use it.
