Curiously, I don't see these warnings on 32-bit FreeBSD
(with clang version 19.1.7).  But I tested your patch on
mamba's host and confirmed that it makes that gcc happy.

Yeah, this is better, but I think the new macros could use a bit
more parenthesis-twiddling:

+#define BITMAPSET_TO_TEXT(bms) cstring_to_text(nodeToString((bms)))

The extra parens around "bms" are surely unnecessary.  (If they were
necessary, it could only be because nodeToString was a macro that
failed to parenthesize its argument where needed.  But that would
be a bug to fix in nodeToString, not here.)

+#define TEXT_TO_BITMAPSET(str) (Bitmapset *) stringToNode(text_to_cstring(str))
 
Here, on the other hand, I think an extra outer set of parens
would be a good idea, ie

+#define TEXT_TO_BITMAPSET(str) ((Bitmapset *) stringToNode(text_to_cstring(str)))

It may be that the C cast binds tightly enough that this cannot
be a problem, but I don't think assuming that is project style.
