If I do something like the following:
unsigned int bar=10;
Then use, -bar with the unary '-' and assign this value to an int,
does this invoke undefined behavior in anyway?
Basically I have:
unsigned int bar=10;
int foo;
foo = -bar; /* Undefined behavior? */
I'm just wondering if this value that is expressed in the expression
-bar can be representable at all times with the int variable and in no
way ends up invoking undefined behavior 5 2031

" 6.3.1.3 Signed and unsigned integers
[#1] When a value with integer type is converted to another |
integer type other than _Bool, if the value can be
represented by the new type, it is unchanged.
[#2] Otherwise, if the new type is unsigned, the value is
converted by repeatedly adding or subtracting one more than
the maximum value that can be represented in the new type
until the value is in the range of the new type.
[#3] Otherwise, the new type is signed and the value cannot
be represented in it; the result is implementation-defined."
Well, not undefined, but implementation defined.

First, "-bar" will give a very large positive number, and not a negative
number. If unsigned int = 32 bit then -bar equals 2^32 - 10.
Second, if that number is too large to fit into an unsigned int, then
the behavior is "implementa tion defined". So your compiler should really
document what will happen. It is defined behaviour, so the program will
not crash.

Consider this code:
unsigned int bar = UINT_MAX;
int foo = -bar;
The value is unrepresentable as a signed int, so the result is
implementation-defined (see 3.2.1 of the ANSI C Standard).

Not a chance, assigning an integer expression, literal, or value to
any unsigned integer type is never "implementa tion-defined".
The value is exactly defined, although the resulting value is
implementation-defined, because it depends on the maximum value of the
unsigned destination type is implementation-defined.

But foo is a _signed_ integer. It is not the validity of -bar that is
questioned, but the validity of assigning -bar to a signed int.

In the context of the comp.lang.c newsgroup,
the term "undefined behavior" actually refers to
behavior not defined by the ANSI/ISO C 9 standard.
Specifically, it is *not* true that "anything can happen"
if your C code invokes "undefined behavior".
Behavior not defined by the ANSI/ISO C 9 standard
may be defined by some other standard (i.e. POSIX) or
it may be defined by your compiler,
your operating system or your machine architecture.

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between undefined behavior
and unspecified behavior?
Though I've read what is given about them, in ISO standards, I'm still
not able to get the difference.
For example:
Consider the following code:
a = i;
We say that the above expression statement produces undefined

Does ~0 yield undefined behavior? C++03 section 5 paragraph 5 seems to
suggest so:
The description of unary ~ (C++03 section 5.3.1 paragraph 8):
But perhaps "one's complement" means the value that type would have with
all bits inverted, rather than the mathematical result of inverting all
bits in the binary representation. For example, on a machine with 32-bit

Will the following statement invoke undefined behavior :
a^=b,b^=a,a^=b ;
given that a and b are of int-type ??
Be cautious, I have not written a^=b^=a^=b ; which, of course, is
undefined. I am having some confusion with the former statement!
Also, state the reason for the statement being undefined!

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
