-32768 not fitting into a 16 bit signed value

Question

I am using PCLint v 9.00h

In my code I have the following (where S16 is a signed 16 bit):

S16 temperatureResult = -32768;

Which unless

Answer 1

The standard only guarantees the range of [-32767,32767] for signed short. Your implementation may extend this a bit, like most implementations do, but PCLint checks for standards compliance.
