I want to set and reset the least significant bit of a address (where a
pointers points to).
I tried this, but it is not correct:
#define BIT 0x1
void foo(){
void *p;
*p = *p & ~BIT
}

I don't bemoan the urge for some regulation. It's necessary to
keep any newsgroup from degenerating into simple chaos... but
where does one go to discuss progress in the language?
Try comp.std.c.
Ummm... lets see if I'm getting this...
In comp.lang.c one is only allowed to discuss standardized C.
However, in comp.std.c one is only allowed to discuse non-standard C
Isn't that backwards?
comp.lang.c is where we discuss using the C language, comp.std.c is
where the C standard, including possible future direction, is discussed.

Apparently not.
Oh? I have seen nothing from you on comp.compilers. lcc. I have no
idea whether or not Pelles C is a member of the lcc family, though.
If you want to discuss standard C, however, as it is and not as
some language you might like to use which isn't C, you're
welcome to do so here...
Apparently not.
And I have seen no discussion of the use of standard C from you
here. Just complaints about topicality. Try it, you might like it
(portability).

There is the minority view. I have received a lot of flames because of
this, but I go on believing that this group should discuss C beyond the
"portable" stuff.
What does "beyond the portable stuff" mean to you Jacob? One might
guess that it means writing a function (or library) that only works
on one, or a few platforms. I suspect though that in your case it
means writing a compiler, that works (sort of) on one platform, and
that doesn't resemble C much at all anymore. Why would anyone, but
you, wish to spend time discussing such narrow extensions to the
language, especially when comp.compilers. lcc seems to be the natural,
perfect place for a discussion of that narrow topic?

Hey,
I was wondering if it's possible to reset the "auto_increment" feature in
MySQL. For example, if I have a database with a list that will change
every year (the old list be completely flushed out, deleted) and then I
insert a new list, it will very quickly reach the max INDEX length... Does
it just wrap itself? Is there a way to reset "auto_increment" so that I
can flush all the rows, reset auto_increment, and start from scratch?

An ancillary question is how one resets an auto number so that the sequence starts again

The stdint.h header definition mentions five integer categories,
1) exact width, eg., int32_t
2) at least as wide as, eg., int_least32_t
3) as fast as possible but at least as wide as, eg., int_fast32_t
4) integer capable of holding a pointer, intptr_t
5) widest integer in the implementation, intmax_t
Is there a valid motivation for having both int_least and int_fast?

Hello,
I'm trying to find the least significant set bit (i.e. the first '1' bit in an int) through just bit twiddling, but I can't get it without resorting to a loop. My original idea was to reverse the bits in an int and find the most significant bit then subtract it from 31 to get the position of the LSB. Is there a way to get the LSB of an int using just bit manipulations?
e.g., 0b0101 would return 0001,
0b0000 would return...

Hello folks,
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.
