Compiler fault? (or am I missing something?)

Paul Blackmore

Using the latest Keil C compiler (V7.00)
Executing on an Infineon XC161CJ-16F
This code appears to produce the wrong result.

At the "if" statement I expect v1 to equal v3 and for the main function to return 0 (I don't actually want to use the return value, its just a mock up piece of code). However, at the "if" statement, the value of v1 is 0x1234 and the value of v3 is 0xB1234.

Can anyone explain why?

typedef unsigned long ULONG;
typedef unsigned short USHORT;
typedef BYTE * POINTER;

POINTER v1,v2,v3,v4;
ULONG temp_ptr;
int
main(void)
{
  v1 = (POINTER)0;
  v2 = (POINTER)0x0B1234;
  v1 += (ULONG)v2;        // This assigns 0x1234 to v1, I think it should assign 0xB1234

  v3 = (POINTER)0;
  v4 = (POINTER)0x0B1234;
  temp_ptr = (ULONG)v3;
  v3 = temp_ptr+v4;      // This statement assigns 0xB1234 to v3 correctly.

  if ( v1!=v3 )
    return -1;
  else
    return 0;
}
