I understand that `gfortran` treats it as the negation operation applied to a positive integer. But is it not possible to treat it like a literal `b'10000000000000000000000000000000'`? Also I still find the error message misleading, since this value fits in the storage size of the kind and I can use this value (generated through different means) without any problem in the code. Incidentally, `ifx` generates a warning in the case of `2147483648` but not in the case of `-2147483648`, which is intuitively clear for a simple user, who is unaware of the inner workings of a compiler. If the standard doesn't specify the numeric ranges for integer types, I find this limitation inconvenient. I need to perform bit operations using `transfer` with an array of integers (which is generated automatically and copied to the code using compile definitions) as the source and am forced to replace every `-2147483648` with `-huge(0)-1` only because of `gfortran`. (For clarification, I need to use only the default compilation flags.)
