------- Comment #2 from gcczilla at achurch dot org 2008-06-01 04:17 -------
Fair enough, but GCC's documentation explicitly says (gcc.info section 4.5):
* `Whether signed integer types are represented using sign and
magnitude, two's complement, or one's complement, and whether the
extraordinary value is a trap representation or an ordinary value
(C99 6.2.6.2).'
GCC supports only two's complement integer types, and all bit
patterns are ordinary values.
Given that, I think a typical user would assume (as I have) that GCC would
treat -0x80000000 as the signed value -2^31; otherwise there would seem to be
no way to write a single constant to represent that valid value. So I'm going
to have to argue that this is still a bug, whether in the documentation or in
the compiler itself.
