What does this mean???

I got a small programm on net...but there was different initialisation
that I saw...

It was as follows:

for ( i = ~0 ; i ; i>>=1);

right shift is ok..But what is meaned by " i = ~0 "...

Tilde is the one's complement operator. I would not think of that as
bulletproof code, the results might well be different on a one's complement
machine than they are on a two's complement machine. The result is
"negative zero" on a one's complement machine.

Not on a 1's complement or a signed magnitude machine.

Actually, it's the ones' complement operator, because it complements
many ones. "Two's complement", however, is correct.

I don't know if that is some of that famous British humour or what. It is
the one's complement operator, it does *not* form a proper two's complement.

No, it's the ones' complement operator. Observe the position of the

It has nothing to do with the legitimacy of what you are saying. You know,
this English language is expressive enough to actually say what you mean
instead of hiding the meaning behind a veil. I see no point whatsoever in
being so subtle on such a thing, as I said, your initial post could easily

Tilde is the one's complement operator. I would not think of that as
bulletproof code, the results might well be different on a one's complement
machine than they are on a two's complement machine. The result is
"negative zero" on a one's complement machine.
Given the presence of the shift operator, I would have thought that it
is more important to the author that i has the all ones bit pattern
that it represents any particular number. For this reason ~0 is
initially a more logical choice than -1.

We don't know what i is, but whether the loop will terminates if it is
signed is implementation defined. If the implementation uses a two's
complement representation and the shift operator for signed ints on
the implementation does an arithmetic right shift (shifts in the sign
bit and leaves the sign bit unchanged) then the loop will not
terminate.

For this reason, if this is to be portable code, i should be unsigned.
If i is unsigned then -1 and ~0 are both equivalent as both are
guaranteed to represent 2^N - 1.

OK, the last paragraph isn't true :). Technically -1 and ~0U are
guaranteed to represent 2^N - 1 where N is the number of value bits
in the representation of unsigned int.

OK, the last paragraph isn't true :). If i is wider than an int
(supposed it is an unsigned long) then ~0UL is required. In general,
the constant 0 needs to be widened to the correct width before the ~
operator is applied.

Presumably you mean "with respect to many ones". At least, that's
what Knuth says, and I believe it's from him that this view derives.
>"Two's complement", however, is correct.
.... because, so it is claimed, it complements with respect to a single
power of two.

But I find this argument unconvincing. The apostrophe suggests that
they are complements *of* one and two, which they aren't. It would be
reasonably natural to refer to the one- or two-complement of a single
bit, and extended the terms unchanged to cover the multi-bit case.

But in any case the term "twos complement", regardless of apostrophe,
does not capture the key point of that representation. It is the
truncated form of the result of applying the usual binary arithmetic
to a conceptually infinite strings of bits. If you blindly subtract 1
from 0 in binary, you get ones all the way.

Nope. The effect will depend on the number representation, and is
thus not constant. Bad.

This is a very tough room. Let me try again. The question..
"what is meaned by " i = ~0 "..." might translate to..

int i = ~0;

...What goes on here?

The 0 of course in an integer value with all bits 0. The prefix tilde
performs a binary complement of the value, in this case to all bits 1.

The value of 'all bits 1' depends on how you look at it.

Two's complement suggests -1.
One's complement suggests -0.
Signed Magnitude maybe minus INT_MAX?

This is a very tough room. Let me try again. The question..
"what is meaned by " i = ~0 "..." might translate to..

int i = ~0;
Who says i is declared as int? The original poster didn't, as far as I've
seen. If i is not declared as int, it is important to remember than ~0 is
evaluated as type int (the type of 0), and the result is converted to the
type of i. That is,

unsigned i = ~0;

is not equivalent to

unsigned i = 0;
i = ~i;

even though in this case, for two's complement, the result will be the same.
..What goes on here?

The 0 of course in an integer value with all bits 0. The prefix tilde
performs a binary complement of the value, in this case to all bits 1.

The value of 'all bits 1' depends on how you look at it.

Two's complement suggests -1.
Yes.
One's complement suggests -0.
As was mentioned elsethread, it's called "ones' complement".

-0 is never negative zero. If negative zero is supported, it will compare
equal to plain zero, but you don't get negative zero as a result of any
non-bitwise arithmetic operation, including negation. -0 is equivalent to
+0 .

And ones' complement systems are allowed to say the behaviour is undefined
if ~0 is evaluated. Negative zero need not be supported, and if it is not,
then all bits set is a trap representation.
Signed Magnitude maybe minus INT_MAX?
It's called "sign and magnitude", but right. Which of course equals INT_MIN
for these systems.

Of course they are. Completely imaginary. And THAT'S
why the committees who wrote and revised the Standards made
allowance for them. Even when they tightened the allowable
representations in C99, they still allowed ones' complement
and signed magnitude. Simply decreeing two's complement
would have made a lot of things simpler, but the committees
were made up entirely of masochists who loved to make trouble
for themselves. That's why you needn't worry your pretty
little head about it: All the world is a two's complement
32-bit Little-Endian IEEE-floating-point dosbox, and don't
let anyone tell you any different.

Or to put it another way: A friend of mine likes to say
that computing is a fashion-driven industry. Fashions come,
and fashions go, and fashions come again. You can write your
program for this season's hem lines and color schemes, or you
can attempt something a little less transitory. There are,
after all, some distinct infelicities in two's complement:
the fact that abs(n) cannot be implemented reliably stands
out as an ugliness that neither of the alternatives suffer
from, and tomorrow's system couturier may reject that ugliness.
Trap representations for integers are Out today, but in the
face of viral onslaught might not tomorrow's machine revive
the old practice of explicitly-typed data?

Sometimes it doesn't make sense to sacrifice all other goals
on the altar of portability: Portability is just one among many
desirable attributes of a program. But there are *very* few
reasons to engage in gratuitous importabilities like those(?)
in the above code example. You may not particularly like the
ruffles-with-polka-dots theme that all the designers will put
on the runways next year, but it costs you little or nothing
to accommodate it -- and if you don't, none of the hot models
will wear your code.

Mind you, for the fashion industry it seems to be lucrative to work only
to today's fashion, and let the airheaded customers buy each year's
fashion in turn. It doesn't seem to do Microsoft any harm, either.

Whether that is a business model you wish to strive for is on each
programmer's own conscience. But lucrative it is.
