Maybe? It's a common enough thing to do that I'm willing to bet that Walter would object, but what you're really looking to do in most cases like that is to get something like uint.max, in which case it's better to just use the built-in constant. But I doubt that assigning negative literals to unsigned variables causes much in the way of bugs. The bigger problem is comparing signed and unsigned types, and a number of folks have argued that that should be a warning or error. - Jonathan M Davis
