>Description:
The following small program:
#include <stddef.h>

int
main (void)
{
  size_t len;
  
  len = ~(sizeof (size_t) - 1);

  return 0;
}

gives this warning:
/opt/gcc-2.97.test/bin/gcc -Wall a.c
a.c: In function `main':
a.c:8: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type

The warning is IMO wrong, the code is fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the test program with -Wall.
