Gcc/g++ bug report: decimal constant too large

[Tomas Kalibera]

The bug being reported is that warning "decimal constant is so large that
it
is unsigned" is issued by gcc for integer constant - 2^31 - 1
(-2147483648),
although it is a valid integer constant (because it equals to INT_MIN from
limits.h).
g++ behaves simmilarly. The generated code is correct for both g++ and
gcc.
