No.

`-2147483648` isn't a literal constant. It's an expression, the
negation of `2147483648`.

The thing is, in the OP's code lines 7 and 8, it says:

7 int y = -2147483648;
8 int x = INT_MIN;

which are _completely_ equivalent (INT_MIN is _defined_ as
-2147483648), and yet line 7 generates the warning:

Please check it. It will probably defined as (- 2147483647 - 1),
which is something different.
