Dear all,
Is there a logic shift operator in C++? I tried ">>", it is an
arithmetic shift operator.
Thanks!

No, there is no built-in logical shift right.

As far as I know, it's implementation-defined as to whether it's logical
shift or arithmetic shift.
No, there is no built-in logical shift right.
You could probably make one yourself by using a combination of things:
(1) Macros to determine whether the system is sign-magnitude, one's
complement or two's complement.
(2) Usage of the IMAX_BITS macro (you can do a Google Groups search for
this.)
(3) Usage of bitwise operators.
It wouldn't be a mammoth task.

It's arithmetical or logical depending on whether or not the integer
you are shifting is signed or not.

Actually, there is an established meaning for those two phrases.
Hint: The operation performed does not depend on the value of the operand.

Yes, and they mean exactly the same thing when applied to unsigned integers.

The hardware instruction repertoires that I know of that provide both
arithmetic and logical shifts have four shift instructions, not three.
Unless you are terribly clever it is going to take longer to force a
preliminary step of seeing what the value of the operand is, before doing
the shift. YMMV.

What are you talking about hardware instruction repertoires for? I was
simply pointing out that, for unsigned integers, arithmetic and logical
shifts are 100% identical; There is no sign bit to sign extend; there is
no decision to be made.

No, but on the type.
Hint: "singned"/"unsigned" doesn't say anything about the value.

Really? I don't know many, but those that I know only have three, because
there is no difference between a logic and an arithmetic left shift, but
there is one for the right shift. Sometimes, however, there are two
different names on assembler level for the left shift that just resolve to
the same instruction. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Can anyone suggest me operator to perform arithmetic shift in C?
May it be for a perticular compiler.

Hi,
I had some beginner questions. Do we need Shift << >> or Logical AND OR XOR operator in our daily programming?
I am not sure why i need to use it? I had some samples of c# codes using it.
Can someone share their experiences why someone should use those operators and what type of scenarios?
Any good snippets and example?

While coding some binary data handling I found this IMHO strange behavior:
Dim bToShift As Byte = 1
bToShift <<= 9
Console.WriteLine("and the value is {0}", bToShift)
The output is "2", I expected it to be zero (outshifted bits don't come back).
The rule I determined is: whatever the shift operator S is, its real value is (S mod 8).
Is this as designed? I read the VB lanuage specification, but I cannot find anything there which would...

Pardon me if this has been asked a million times -- but I thought that
because of generics, the right shift operator was supposed to change with C#
2.0. I thought it was supposed to change from ">>" to "> >", to distiguish
it from nested generics.
But I've been using VS2005, and when I put in the new syntax I get an error
message, whereas the old syntax, as shown in the following code continues to
work fine. What am I missing?
