I disagree. It can help catch things like converting off_t and fpos_t to int.
I agree with the OP that CGFloat is very annoying in this respect. My
solution has been to use the 'f' suffix for constants. Similarly, there
is no CGFloat version of sin() and other math functions.

This could be dangerous if you have some code that really expects double
constans to be doubles.

Apple's headers inconsistently use #if and #ifdef. I recommend:
#if defined (__LP64__) && __LP64__
which will also not warn with -Wundef.
