Of all the functions. (note that I am just speculating, but the warning
does not surprise me)

That's not at all what I said, the code doesn't become undefined. If it
was fine, it remains fine. If it was broken, the brokenness may become
more obvious. Let me rephrase the warning:
"Reminder: computing INT_MIN-1 is forbidden. If you are not doing that,
you can ignore this message. I am giving you this warning because you are
computing X-1 and I decided to key the launch of nuclear missiles to the
value X==INT_MIN. Have a safe day!"
(the computation of X-1 is in try_op_si, but the warning points at the
location where the compiler inserts the trigger for the nuclear missiles)
