operator += on short int values - strange compiler warning

I have some very simple code fragment:

short int n1, n2;
....
n1 += n2;

I get an warning from VS2003 - VS2005: warning C4244: '+=' : conversion
from 'int' to 'short', possible loss of data

n1 = n1 + n2;

Here I don't get the warning. Strange...

I'm using warning level 4. Is this "VC++ specific" or conformant to the
standard?

Btw, is there a good online source for the C++ Standard? I just
downloaded a pdf from open-std.org but it seems not up-to-date (its
from 2001).


Please look in the FAQ.

But the fourth bullet directs to 4.5, and 4.5/1 reads:
"An rvalue of type char, signed char, unsigned char, short int, or
unsigned short int **can** be converted to an rvalue of type int if int
can represent all the values of the source type; otherwise, the source
rvalue **can** be converted to an rvalue of type unsigned int."
(the ** are mine)

As I interpret it, it is not *required* it is a possibility. Please,
correct me if I am wrong.


Subclause 4.5 shows _how_ it's done *if* it's done. 5/9 requires that it
_shall_ be done. Read it again.

Yes, I see it now, thank you.

Before you all start flaming me, I am not a student and this is not for any homework. Just someone learing c++ on their own. I am now up to the chapter in my book that describes operator overloading. I just cannot find any explanation that clearly point out what the parts of the statement refer to. For example the book says: comp operator+(comp b)

Hi, Is it considered bad form to have the subscript operator return a const reference variable? If not, what is the proper way to do it? My question was prompted by the code below, my problematic attempt to implement a subscript operator that returns a const reference. The dubious code is marked at the end. <code>

I was compiling a program written by someone else about six years ago, and widely distributed at the time. It also includes makefiles for many different systems, so I know it has been compiled with many different compilers. I got compile errors when it used va_arg to fetch an argument of type short. That seemed a little strange to me, so I changed it to int and it compiled just fine. So now I wonder, just what is the rule for va_arg...

Why can I overload operator== and operator!= separately having different implementations and additionally I can override equals() also having a different implementation. Why not forbid overloading of == and != but instead translate each call of objA==objB automatically in System.Object.Equals(objA, objB). This would remove inconsistencies like myString1==myString2

In an antique obsolete version of MFC, a CString expression could be subscripted in order to retrieve one element. Visual Studio 2005 defines CSimpleStringT::operator. At first glance it looks like it might have been intended to provide backwards compatibility for antique programs. But there seems to be no way to use it. CString s = _T("ab"); short i = 1; _TCHAR c = s;

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. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
