GCC13, c++, cygwin 64: auto x = 9223372036854775808L
gives the warning: "integer constant is so large that it is unsigned"
But actually the type is signed __int128:
std::cout << x;
gives the error: "ambiguous overload for ‘operator<<’ (operand types are
‘std::ostream’ {aka ‘std::basic_ostream<char>’} and ‘__int128’"
and
std::cout << (x-x-1<0) << std::endl;
prints 1.
So what is the correct type of 9223372036854775808L ?
unsigned long, as the warning says, or signed __int128?
