Is this supposed to be legal in Go:
var x int32 = 3
fmt.Printf("%d", x & 0xFFFFFFFF)?
The language spec just says the bitwise operator "applies to integers only"
and
"yields a result of the same type as the first operand" that I can see, but
it's giving
me a compiler error:
./main.go:10: constant 4294967295 overflows int32
with go 1.6.2.
Is this a compiler bug, or am I missing something else in the spec that
makes it impossible
to mask out the high bit in a signed integer type without converting to an
unsigned equivalent first?
