Public bug reported:
I have an Ubuntu 14.04 system for arm7l (armhf), and I think
I have found a bug in the g++/gcc compiler.
I am expecting to see 'char c' below to end up as a negative number,
but as you can see, it does not. x86 system shows the negative number
as expected.
Anyone have any ideas for a work-around, or proper code if mine is
buggy?
greearb@build-imx6:~/git/btbits/server$ more test.cc
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
unsigned long long val = 0x8b;
char c = val;
printf("c: %d 0x%x\n", c, c);
return 0;
}
greearb@build-imx6:~/git/btbits/server$ g++ -o test test.cc
greearb@build-imx6:~/git/btbits/server$ ./test
c: 139 0x8b
