 Message        <Context> the globalvalue constant <value> is outside
                the range of type int.  This may cause unexpected
                results.

 Description    The C compiler does not support globalvalue constants
                larger than int.  The compiler preserves only the
                low-order 32 bits of the value, which will be
                sign-extended by the linker if the symbol is used in
                a certain contexts requiring a 64-bit value.  This
                may cause unexpected results.

 User Action    Use constants within the range of type int to
                initialize globalvalues, or use more portable
                constructs such as macro definitions or global
                const-qualified variables to share constant values
                among compilation units.
