Look at it this way. Is this group of 32 bits signed or unsigned?
Code:
11111111111111111111111100000000

by itself it's neither... Whether it's signed or not is wholly up to how you interpret it.

When you print it as a %d, it assumes the bit in red is the sign bit, meaning that bit adds -2147483648. It even does this if you try to print an unsigned int with %d.

When you print it as %x or %u, it just considers that bit +2147483648.

So, whether the variable's signed or not, it's just a 32-bit "thing" as far as printf's concerned, it formats it according to how you tell it to.

CMAP_INC(3)					    Corosync Cluster Engine Programmer's Manual 				       CMAP_INC(3)

NAME
cmap_inc - Increase already stored value in CMAP SYNOPSIS
#include <corosync/cmap.h> cs_error_t cmap_inc (cmap_handle_t handle, const char *key_name); DESCRIPTION
The cmap_inc function is used to increase integer value of already stored key inside cmap. The handle argument is connection to CMAP data- base obtained by calling cmap_initialize(3) function. key_name is name of key to increase value of. Function is defined only on values where increase makes sense and is well defined, so it can be one of: CMAP_VALUETYPE_INT8 - 8-bit signed interger CMAP_VALUETYPE_UINT8 - 8-bit unsigned integer CMAP_VALUETYPE_INT16 - 16-bit signed interger CMAP_VALUETYPE_UINT16 - 16-bit unsigned integer CMAP_VALUETYPE_INT32 - 32-bit signed interger CMAP_VALUETYPE_UINT32 - 32-bit unsigned integer CMAP_VALUETYPE_INT64 - 64-bit signed interger CMAP_VALUETYPE_UINT64 - 64-bit unsigned integer Overflow/underflow is not detected and it's ignored. RETURN VALUE
This call returns the CS_OK value if successful. If value or key_name are unspecified, CS_ERR_INVALID_PARAM is returned. CS_ERR_NOT_EXIST error is returned if key doesn't exist (wasn't created by calling cmap_set(3) first). Some of keys may be tagged read-only directly in corosync and seting such key will result in CS_ERR_ACCESS error. SEE ALSO
cmap_get(3), cmap_set(3), cmap_initialize(3), cmap_overview(8) CS_ERR_TRY_AGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable CS_ERR_INVALID_PARAM Invalid argument CS_ERR_ACCESS Permission denied CS_ERR_LIBRARY The connection failed CS_ERR_INTERRUPT System call inturrupted by a signal CS_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED The requested protocol/functuality not supported CS_ERR_MESSAGE_ERROR Incorrect auth message received CS_ERR_NO_MEMORY Not enough memory to completed the requested task corosync Man Page 03/02/2012 CMAP_INC(3)
