So amusingly, it tells me the constant is unsigned, then prints it
signed.

Where's a language lawyer when you need one?!

If INT_MAX equals 2147483647,
the the type of 2147483648 can't be type int, can it?

Erm... it doesn't say "2147483648", it says "-2147483648", which is
exactly equal to INT_MIN, and is therefore a valid int value. The
warning is therefore misleading, no?

Does it tell you "-2147483648" is unsigned? Strange. It should
tell you the constant is unsigned, and the constant is "2147483648".
There are no negative constants in C.
