| Subject: | Warning when initializing a long variable |

Hi all,when I try to initalize a long variable with the most negative value of -2147483648 which should be 0xFFFFFFFF, then I get a compiler warning. The compiler is gcc version 3.4.5 running on solaris.
long test_var = -2147483648L; .... ../devPbdp.c:80: warning: decimal constant is so large that it is unsigned-2147483647 is accepted. This problem exists only with long. char and short can be initialized to the most negative values without any problem.
Any idea? Thank you.... - Bernd
