narrowing conversion from unsigned to double

Viewed 14744
static_assert(sizeof(unsigned) == 4, ":(");
static_assert(sizeof(double) == 8 ,":(");
unsigned u{42};
double x{u};

g++ 4.7.1 complains about this code:

warning: narrowing conversion of 'u' from 'unsigned int' to 'double' inside { }

Why is this a narrowing conversion? Isn't every unsigned perfectly representable as a double?
