This is explicitly allowed in (C11) 7.16.1.1/2:
"one type is a signed integer type, the other type is the corresponding
unsigned integer type, and the value is representable in both types".

It should expand as an integer constant.

So in GCC it will apparently be a signed int usually, except maybe if you
have >2G lines, then it becomes unsigned (if int is 32 bits), or >4G when
is will become long or long long. See 6.4.4.1/5 for what type an integer
constant is.
