[Bug c++/23587] New: Missing "warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type"

[v dot haisman at sh dot cvut dot cz]

The following test warns about the comparison being always true only for two of
 the six tests:

#include <cstdlib>

void a (unsigned char x)
{
  if (x < 0)
    abort ();
}

void b (unsigned short x)
{
  if (x < 0)
    abort ();
}

void c (unsigned int x)
{
  if (x < 0)
    abort ();
}

void d (unsigned long x)
{
  if (x < 0)
    abort ();
}

void e (unsigned long long x)
{
  if (x < 0)
    abort ();
}

void f (size_t x)
{
  if (x < 0)
    abort ();
}
