That's an int. The rules for determining the type of an integer
constant are in N1570 6.4.4.1; there are no integer constants of type
short. I'm guessing the question was rhetorical; you write a C
compiler, so I presume you already know this.

Why do you say "without explicit cast"? A cast is what I suggested
upthread: `(short)25987`. If you don't like that for some reason:
const short n = 25987;
