No. It is in range. It is the only way (other than TRANSFER) to
get the most negative integer value in a simple assignment. Now,
if you write
value = 9223372036854775807_i8_ + 1
write(*, FMT="(i22)") value, HUGE(value)+1
This results in out of range values, and wrap around semantics
still gives
--9223372036854775808
--9223372036854775808
Also, note that if one uses integer(4), you get the right output.
-2147483647
-2147483647
-2147483648
