Unnecessary warning


Dear Sirs

I am not sure whether you consider this a bug or a
feature, but it annoys me a little. If you enter the
following C++ lines in a program:

  unsigned int foo;
  foo = 4294967295; //Or any constant larger than 2^31
  cout << foo << endl;    

then g++ warns about the constant being
"so large that it is unsigned".

I am using the following system:

PIII 500
Redhat 6.0
Gcc 2.95.2
