Run this and enter 127

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
    int8_t value;
    if(std::cin >> value)
    {
        std::cout << '\n' << value << "\ngood\n";
    }
}

On FreeBSD 6.2, gcc 3.4, I get this

> ./a.out
127

1
good

It reads only '1', as if int8_t were char.

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty
is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we
are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another
order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we
are ugly. -- Ambrose Bierce --
