--- Comment #3 from Richard Smith <richard-gccbugzilla at metafoo dot co.uk> --- In the mean time, what is GCC's intent here? Clang is following the behavior described by GCC's diagnostic text, treating decimal integer literals that don't fit in 'long long' but do fit in 'unsigned long long' as the latter type (I've not checked back far enough to tell if this is what GCC ever actually did, or if we got this by looking at the diagnostics and didn't check the behavior). If that's not what GCC intends to do any more, that'd be useful for us to know, and we can switch to following GCC's actual behavior. (It'd also make sense to update the diagnostic text in that case!) It looks like both the Clang behavior (treat the literal as 'unsigned long long') and the GCC behavior (treat the literal as '__int128' where available and 'long long' otherwise) are conforming extensions in both C and C++, even though __int128 isn't (yet) an extended integer type: such a literal "has no type" in C, which presumably results in undefined behavior, and makes the program ill-formed in C++, so it seems there is room for a vendor extension in both languages.
