How about this one?
 
unsigned int u2 = -2;
Does it makes sense? Maybe a warning here?

Some of the multi-byte conversion functions (like mbrtowc) return either
(size_t)-1 or (size_t)-2 to indicate different kinds of failure so it's
not inconceivable that someone might write

 size_t processed_but_incomplete = -2;
