What is the essential type of -123L? - misra-c - 17-02-2015
When applying the essential type model, what is the essential type of "-123L"?

The last paragraph of section D.1 states that sections D.2 – D.7 only apply to expressions whose standard C type is "signed int" or"unsigned int".
The standard type of the expression “-123L†is "signed long", and hence the essential type is also "signed long".
