(again sorry), nor should ~0 be considred equivelent to -1, any more than any explicit
non-signed constant like 0xFFFF for example be (as previously questioned), as such
values only have equivelent representations if the constant's required representation
precision happens to be the same as the targets specifed int type-sizes; therefore
would not be reasonably target portable if treated otherwise.

(assuming for the sake of argument if sizeof(int) = 2, sizeof(long) = 4):

 unsigned long = (assumed signed int compatibe) -1, long == 0xFFFFFFFF
 unsigend long = (assumed unsigned int compatible)~0, long == 0x000FFFF
