Building libdatrie-0.2.10 on OS X 10.11, I get a warning:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.. -I/sw/include -g -O2 -MT trietool.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/trietool.Tpo -c -o trietool.o trietool.c
trietool.c:128:13: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtautological-compare]
if (res < 0)
~~~ ^ ~
1 warning generated.

res is (correctly per iconv prototype) a size_t, but size_t is generally some sort of unsigned int: the warning seems on target. The iconv manpage says that the return in case of error isn't "-1" but is "(size_t)(-1)": -1 cast to the return type. And its example code is:

size_t nconv;
nconv = iconv (cd, &inptr, &insize, &wrptr, &avail);
if (nconv == (size_t) -1) ...

So trietool.c at line 128 should be changed:

-    if (res < 0)
+    if (res == (size_t) -1)
         return res;

* tools/trietool.c (conv_to_alpha):
  - Check iconv() return value against (size_t) -1, rather than
    for its negativity, as size_t can be unsigned.

Thanks Daniel Macks for the report on Issue #3.
