In the IBM C language Manual (SC09-1128) I read the following:
Integer constants are always positive. If you want to write a
negative constant, use a unary minus operator, as in -53. This is
actually a "constant integer expression", but the compiler accepts
it anywhere an integer constant is permitted, and it computes the
value for you at compile time. (On System/370, the expression
-2147483648 must be type cast to int to represent the negative
integer with the largest magnitude.)
