Proposed resolution (January, 2017):
Change 6.8.2 [basic.fundamental] paragraph 3 as follows:
...The standard and extended unsigned integer types are collectively called unsigned integer types. The range of non-negative values of a signed integer type is a subrange of the corresponding unsigned integer type, the representation of the same value in each of the two types is the same, and the value representation of each corresponding signed/unsigned type shall be the same. The standard signed integer types...
[Adopted at the February/March, 2017 meeting.]
According to 6.8.2 [basic.fundamental] paragraph 3,
The range of non-negative values of a signed integer type is a subrange of the corresponding unsigned integer type, and the value representation of each corresponding signed/unsigned type shall be the same.
The corresponding wording from C11 is,
The range of nonnegative values of a signed integer type is a subrange of the corresponding unsigned integer type, and the representation of the same value in each type is the same.
The C wording is arguably clearer, but it loses the implication of the C++ wording that the sign bit of a signed type is part of the value representation of the corresponding unsigned type.
