For signed to unsigned the result is specified in the C standard as the result modulo 65536. For the unsigned to signed it is defined if the number unsigned number is in the signed range and implementation defined if the unsigned number is out of the integer range.
Why does a return type and assignment type mismatch cause a compiler error?
