negate INT_MIN

Hi,

Should f(INT_MIN) return 0 according to the C99 for the following
function f (), or its result is undefined?

int f(int i)
{
i = i 0 ? i : -i;
if (i<0)
return 0;
else
return 1;
}

Thanks!

It should return 1 when INT_MIN is equal to -INT_MAX. The behaviour
(not just the result) is undefined when INT_MIN is equal to -INT_MAX -
1.

The title more or less says it all: in C99, is the value of INT_MIN % -1 well defined (when performed as signed integers) under the assumption of two-complement representation. Note, that this is not the usual negative-values-and-% question -- the problem here is that the corresponding signed division, INT_MIN / -1, overflows. Thus I don't see what use a%b = a-(a/b)*b can be here.

Say int is a 16-bit twos-complement type. Is the expression (-32768) actually negative? Or is it the unsigned int literal 32768 with the unary minus operator applied to it, resulting in the value of the expression being an unsigned int 32768, which can then trap when being assigned to a signed int type

I' d like to list all inactive clients. Inactive client is a client who hasn't had invoice for 2 months. I use INNER JOIN to join invoice view (vwDok4FSFZGrid) and clients addresses table (adr_Nazwa). I skip empty values (adr_Ewid.adr_Nazwa ! =''). I select only invoices with date after the interesting date. So now I can list all active clients but i can't negate this result set to get all inactive clients:

Hi all int i= INT_MIN; unsigned int u= -i; Is u guaranteed to have the absolute value of INT_MIN? Why it might not: -i has type (int), and -INT_MIN might be more than INT_MAX.
