Hi All,
I tried to compile the following line:
pair<long, ulong> cr3(make_pair(-2147483648L, 2147483647));
but get this error:
unary minus applied to unsigned type, result still unsigned.
But in my c++ book is says that the postfix L forces the integer to be
signed.
Could anyone please explain this behaviour, and if possible point me to some
documentation that explains how intergral types are handled in depth?

Its some compiler bug, because -2147483648L is nice signed long constant.
Tõnu.

The number is too big for (signed) long so it becomes unsigned long.
There are no negative literals, just positive ones with a unary minus
applied to it. There is no way to represent that number with a literal
I expect on your environment.
However, you can use numeric_limits< long>::min() to get the value.
Probably a better idea than hardcoding those number in anyhow.
In article <3f********@new s.infonet.ee>, to**@ids.ee says...
[ ... ] 2147483648L > MAX LONG, so compiler silently uses unsigned long instead.

Unfortunately this isn't correct. The problem is that this is NOT
parsed as simply a negative constant. It's parsed as a unary minus
operator, followed by a positive constant. Unfortunately, on a typical
32-bit system, 2147483648L is too large to be a signed long constant, so
it's treated as an unsigned long constant. The unary minus is then
applied to that unsigned long, and about the only (sort of) good result
is a warning message telling you that you haven't gotten what you
probably wanted.

That value is not required to be in the range of
signed long. A value one greater is, however.

Replace -2147483648L with (-2147483647 - 1)
but get this error:

If he really wants the minimum long and maximum ulong variables
he really should use numeric_limits min and max. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I was checking the Prolog recipe in the Cookbook:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/303057
It's a clever implementation that explores some aspects of Python that
I wasn't aware of. One of them is the unary plus operator, that calls
the __pos__ method. It's something that can be highly useful in my own
experiments with the use of classes as a tool for generic declarative
descriptions of objects -- UI forms,...

Hi,
I've been lurking on clc for a few months now, and want to start by
thanking the regulars here for opening my eyes to a whole new dimension
of "knowing c". Considering I had never even touched the standards a
year ago, though I graduated in embedded SW development...
Anyway, to the problem at hand: I've stumbled upon the following
construct at work recently, and cannot really make up my mind about the
standard's take on the matter.

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.
