Ignoring the -Wconversion diagnostic in make_format_args was leaking out of the header, resulting in that warning being ignored in downstream code that includes fmt/base.h:

fmt/include/fmt/base.h

Lines 2823 to 2828 in 9395ef5

constexpr FMT_ALWAYS_INLINE auto make_format_args(T&... args)
-> detail::format_arg_store<Context, NUM_ARGS, NUM_NAMED_ARGS, DESC> {
// Suppress warnings for pathological types convertible to detail::value.
FMT_PRAGMA_GCC(diagnostic ignored "-Wconversion")
return {{args...}};
}

We should push/pop the diagnostics to ensure this is cleaned up (as is done for clang and for GCC options).

See this Compiler Explorer reproducer for the problem. You can see that gcc doesn't raise a warning while clang does. Commenting out the #include <fmt/base.h> restores the correct behaviour.

Ignoring the `-Wconversion` diagnostic in `make_format_args` was
leaking out of the header, resulting in that warning being ignored in
downstream code that includes `fmt/base.h`.

Instead, we should `push`/`pop` the diagnostics to ensure this is
cleaned up.

Thanks for the PR! The lint issue is preexisting and can be ignored - I'll fix it separately.

	  Thanks @teruyamato0731, @petersteneteg and @zimmerman-dev.
    12.0.0
	- Optimized the default floating point formatting
	  (fmtlib/fmt#3675,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4516). In particular, formatting a
	  `double` with format string compilation into a stack allocated buffer is
	  more than 60% faster in version 12.0 compared to 11.2 according to
	  [dtoa-benchmark](https://github.com/fmtlib/dtoa-benchmark):
	  ```
	  Function  Time (ns)  Speedup
	  fmt11        34.471    1.00x
	  fmt12        21.000    1.64x
	  ```
	  <img width="766" height="609" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d7d768ad-7543-468c-b0bb-449abf73b31b" />
	- Added `constexpr` support to `fmt::format`. For example:
	  ```c++
	  #include <fmt/compile.h>
	  using namespace fmt::literals;
	  std::string s = fmt::format(""_cf, 42);
	  ```
	  now works at compile time provided that `std::string` supports `constexpr`
	  (fmtlib/fmt#3403,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4456). Thanks @msvetkin.
	- Added `FMT_STATIC_FORMAT` that allows formatting into a string of the exact
	  required size at compile time.
	  For example:
	  ```c++
	  #include <fmt/compile.h>
	  constexpr auto s = FMT_STATIC_FORMAT("{}", 42);
	  ```
	  compiles to just
	  ```s
	  __ZL1s:
	        .asciiz "42"
	  ```
	  It can be accessed as a C string with `s.c_str()` or as a string view with
	  `s.str()`.
	- Improved C++20 module support
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4451,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4459,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4476,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4488,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4491,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4495).
	  Thanks @arBmind, @tkhyn, @Mishura4, @anonymouspc and @autoantwort.
	- Switched to using estimated display width in precision. For example:
	  ```c++
	  fmt::print("|{:.4}|\n|1234|\n", "🐱🐱🐱");
	  ```
	  prints
	  ![](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6c4446b3-13eb-43b9-b74a-b4543540ad6a)
	  because `🐱` has an estimated width of 2
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4272,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4443,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4475).
	  Thanks @nikhilreddydev and @localspook.
	- Fix interaction between debug presentation, precision, and width for strings
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4478). Thanks @localspook.
	- Implemented allocator propagation on `basic_memory_buffer` move
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4487,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4490). Thanks @toprakmurat.
	- Fixed an ambiguity between `std::reference_wrapper<T>` and `format_as`
	  formatters (fmtlib/fmt#4424,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4434). Thanks @jeremy-rifkin.
	- Removed the following deprecated APIs:
	  - `has_formatter`: use `is_formattable` instead,
	  - `basic_format_args::parse_context_type`,
	    `basic_format_args::formatter_type` and similar aliases in context types,
	  - wide stream overload of `fmt::printf`,
	  - wide stream overloads of `fmt::print` that take text styles,
	  - `is_*char` traits,
	  - `fmt::localtime`.
	- Deprecated wide overloads of `fmt::fprintf` and `fmt::sprintf`.
	- Improved diagnostics for the incorrect usage of `fmt::ptr`
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4453). Thanks @TobiSchluter.
	- Made handling of ANSI escape sequences more efficient
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4511,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4528).
	  Thanks @localspook and @Anas-Hamdane.
	- Fixed a buffer overflow on all emphasis flags set
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4498). Thanks @dominicpoeschko.
	- Fixed an integer overflow for precision close to the max `int` value.
	- Fixed compatibility with WASI (fmtlib/fmt#4496,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4497). Thanks @whitequark.
	- Fixed `back_insert_iterator` detection, preventing a fallback on slower path
	  that handles arbitrary iterators (fmtlib/fmt#4454).
	- Fixed handling of invalid glibc `FILE` buffers
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4469).
	- Added `wchar_t` support to the `std::byte` formatter
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4479,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4480). Thanks @phprus.
	- Changed component prefix from `fmt-` to `fmt_` for compatibility with
	  NSIS/CPack on Windows, e.g. `fmt-doc` changed to `fmt_doc`
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4441,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4442). Thanks @n-stein.
	- Added the `FMT_CUSTOM_ASSERT_FAIL` macro to simplify providing a custom
	  `fmt::assert_fail` implementation (fmtlib/fmt#4505).
	  Thanks @HazardyKnusperkeks.
	- Switched to `FMT_THROW` on reporting format errors so that it can be
	  overriden by users when exceptions are disabled
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4521). Thanks @HazardyKnusperkeks.
	- Improved master project detection and disabled install targets when using
	  {fmt} as a subproject by default (fmtlib/fmt#4536).
	  Thanks @crueter.
	- Made various code improvements
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4445,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4448,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4473,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4522).
	  Thanks @localspook, @tchaikov and @way4sahil.
	- Added Conan instructions to the docs
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4537). Thanks @uilianries.
	- Removed Bazel files to avoid issues with downstream packaging
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4530). Thanks @mering.
	- Added more entries for generated files to `.gitignore`
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4355,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4512).
	  Thanks @dinomight and @localspook.
	- Fixed various warnings and compilation issues
	  (fmtlib/fmt#4447,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4470,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4474,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4477,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4471,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4483,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4515,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4533,
	  fmtlib/fmt#4534).
	  Thanks @dodomorandi, @localspook, @remyjette, @Tomek-Stolarczyk, @Mishura4,
	  @mattiasljungstrom and @FatihBAKIR.
