See this example:
https://godbolt.org/z/fzE73jn13
And the ImplicitCastExpr nodes adding to the AST:
https://godbolt.org/z/oYeYxYdKW

Both the second and third operand are promoted to int.

C11: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1548.pdf

6.5.15/5
>> If both the second and third operands have arithmetic type, the result type that would be determined by the usual arithmetic conversions, were they applied to those two operands, is the type of the result.
6.3.1.8/1
>> Otherwise, the integer promotions are performed on both operands.
6.3.1.1/2
>> If an int can represent all values of the original type (as restricted by the width, for a bit-field), the value is converted to an int; otherwise, it is converted to an unsigned int. These are called the integer promotions.
