What sort of ints?  How many of those were constants?  In which
cases were the int values negative, and which cases non-negative?
More generally, what are the circumstances that prompted you to
compare a can-never-be-negative value to a potentially-negative
value?  Are most of the comparisons relational, or are there
lots of equality/inequality?

There are easy ways to compare (without getting warnings) signed
values and unsigned values, but how a particular case should be
addressed depends on the details.  Can you supply more information?
