On MSVC, default project settings I get:

    warning C4267: 'argument': conversion from 'size_t' to 'short', possible loss of data
https://godbolt.org/z/nYeWT7zv6 (/W3 is the default warning level when creating a new project)

I saw these warnings so often that I assumed that every compiler had them.
