Try changing the 2 to a char differently:
char var;
const char TWO = 2;
....
var = var/TWO;
There should be no promotion/demotion doing it that way, as both are
chars.
If you read the manual, you would know that you could change the warning
to
a different type of message, such as "information".
I could try it myself, but you could do it before I get to it. I'll try it
later and see, though.
