It seems that dmc.exe uses C99 rules for default type of a decimal
literal, even if -A90 option is used.

The assert(-1 == 4294967295); fails regardless of -A option, although
it should pass on C90 compilers (assuming 32-bit long). The reason of
different behavior is that C90 takes RHS as uint32, while C99 assume
it int64.
Besides, probably -A90 allows another C99 features (like initial
declaration in a 'for' loop), so I wonder, does -A90 is supported?
