The following program always reports -1 is negative, -1 is positive
on UNIX 5.05 running on VAX-11/780, 3B20 and 3B2.
I used the cc compiler
=============
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
char foo;
unsigned char ufoo;
foo = ufoo = 1;
if ((-1 | foo) < 0) printf("-1 is negative");
if ((-1 | ufoo) > 0) printf("-1 is positive");
}
==============
If the ufoo test were to read:
if ((-1 | ufoo) < 0) printf("-1 is positive");
then the printf would not be executed.
