[Rcpp-devel] large number of warnings for simple use of Rcpp

[Kevin Ushey]

Hi Guillaume,

Compiling with the Makevars you provided, I see a number of warnings
related to sign conversion and loss of integer precision (due to the
use of `-Wconversion` in the Makevars).

I'll add an issue on the GitHub issue tracker just so we don't lose sight of it.

Thanks,
Kevin
