I reverted the earlier broken patch. I am including an updated patch which warns only for real conversion, not for integral conversions. I also updated the test case to include an integral conversion (int to char) which doesn't emit the warning with the -Wreal-conversion flag.
Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64. Okay for google/gcc-4_8?
