gcc 2.95.2-151 / 32-bit integers

[John Ruff]

GNU:

I understand that when compliing C++ source code where a 'int' has been 
defined and that integer's variable has been giving a value greater than 
(+/-)2,147,483,647 such as 9,999,999,999 then that value should be 
wrapped around and equal 1,410,065,407.  This works with gcc-2.8.1, and 
when complied produces only a warning.  However, when complied with 
gcc-2.95.2, an error is produced and the compilation aborts abnormally 
with an exit status 1.

System Info:
Linux 2.2.18 / gcc 2.95.2-151

Below is a simple example:

//-------------------test.cpp---------------
#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
  int number;
  number = 9999999999;
  cout << "The integer number= " << number << endl;
}
//------------------end-------------------

If there is a patch or newer version I should install please let me know.


Thanks in advance,
