Keep in mind that the syntax you are using is not officially supported.
The only officially correct ways of specifying an integer constant in
hexadecimal are H'<digits>' and 0x<digits>.  Some older syntaxes have been
allowed in the past, but these have not been in the documentation for
quite a while.  Actually it's too bad they didn't take the opportunity to
finally get rid of all the historical baggage.  It decreases the chances
of it finding genuine errors.  I suggest you fix all your code to use the
correct syntax.
