Is -5 an integer literal? Or is 5 a literal, and -5 is an expression with unary minus taking a literal as an argument? The question arose when I was wondering how to hardcode smallest signed integer values.
It’s a unary minus followed by 5 as an integer literal. Yes, that makes it somewhat difficult to represent the smallest possible integer in twos complement.
