I did a little more research and I think you are right. What happens according to the C standard: """ the value is converted to unsigned by adding to it one greater than the largest number that can be represented in the unsigned integer type """ so this is effectively -1 + (PG_UINT32_MAX + 1). -- Best regards, Aleksander Alekseev
