It is. Either read the standard, or read any of my email messages where
I quote the thing at you.

Duuuude. The ANSI C standard is about 40 pages in the back of the K&R
second edition. You could read through it in a few hours. If you're
writing C code for more than just a pastime, you should do yourself a 
favor and read it. It's really not all that obscure or hard to
understand.

Then how about you listen to people who have it, read it, and understand
it? Or how about at least believing that gcc is telling you the truth
when it warns that 0xdeadbeef is an unsigned constant?
