Go read the C standard: unsuffixed values which are too large to fit in an int have type long (or long long, if necessary). GCC warns about that since it may not have been intended, but Paul is right: because of their magnitudes, the values *do* have the correct types, despite the lack of suffixes. -Larry Jones Monopoly is more fun when you make your own Chance cards. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ bug-gnulib mailing list bug-gnulib@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib
