Ah. Yes. You are correct. It doesn't look like it is being truncated to 0, as
the following code:
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
short int a = SHRT_MIN;
printf("%d\n", a);
a = -a;
printf("%d\n", a);
return a;
}
Results in:
-32768
-32768
But still, it doesn't seem right that code like "a = -a;" has to be writted as
a "a = static_cast<short int>(-a);" to avoid conversion warnings. That kills
readability while not adding any value.
