According p.8.10.2 and Appendix D, there are 5 ranks for signed and unsigned types for variables, defined, presumably, by their standard types. In particular, standard types int, long and long long are considered to have all different ranks.
According to p. D.3, for a constant, rank of its essential type is determined by its value. Now assume there is a (signed) constant that requires, say, 32 bits to represent the value. Is its rank the same as that of a signed int or signed long variable? And, correspondingly, for a 64-bit constant, will its rank be the same as that of signed long or signed long long variable?
Thank you.
