In a case such as this, GCC ought to be able to prove that the signed variable
is positive and therefore suppress "signed and unsigned" warnings.  I see this
in both C and C++.

#define MAX(a,b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
#define MIN(a,b) ((a) < (b) ? (a) : (b))

unsigned int
constrain(unsigned int index, unsigned int offset, unsigned int limit)
{
  int adj = index - offset;
  adj = MAX(adj, 0);
  return MIN(adj, limit); /* { dg-bogus "signed and unsigned" } */
}
