Minor correction, but the C standard leaves the signedness of 'char' up
to the implementation. Portable code must be written to assume a plain
'char' can be signed or unsigned.
Using the test program below:
#include <stdio.h>
#define TYPE_SIGNED(t) (! ((t) 0 < (t) -1))
int
main (void)
{
printf ("%d\n", TYPE_SIGNED (char));
return 0;
}
