Next question: why does
(~ short) result in short, but in c it results in int? On 10/27/2010 11:02 PM, Steven Schveighoffer wrote:
Well, if 'int' represents a literal, or a manifest constant, they are not exactly ints. When the compiler can tell that the result of the operation will fit into a byte, it allows it to go through. I believe when it can't tell, it should error, but &= may be a special case, I'm not sure. -Steve
