Well, C (which means ANSI-C or ISO 9899-C) says nothing about
how your environment is behaving. There are a lot of holes
in the C-standard and these holes are "undefined behaviour",
"implementation dependent" and similar...
But I agree that integer-border-problems in Ocaml
are not very fine. This is a hole in Ocaml.
(But if known, you can handle it; there are much more
holes in C than in Ocaml.)
Ciao,
Oliver
