- Are you sure that C has signed constants? That is, is -1 lexically recognized
-
- I am. 1 is a signed integer constant, 1U is an unsigned integer
- constant :-)
-
- as a constant, or as a minus token followed by an integer quantity? It's
-
- The latter, which is a constant :-). (i.e. unary minus followed by a
- constant expression is a constant expression.)
-
- probably done the latter way, which means that "-1" is a compound expression.
