Hi,

I would like to hear your opinion about the C standards.

When I have a

signed char a = 130;

I explicitly generate an overflow since the maximum value a singned char
can accommodate is "127". Is this behavior of the overflow defined in any
way or do I get an undefined state of "a" due to the C standards?

Thank you
Chris
