Hello,
On an ARM7, why isn't the value of 'my_char' truncated to the range of a signed char?
char my_char = 240;
I see that 'my_char' is stored in a register - fine, but why isn't that register ANDed with 127? The range of a char type on an ARM7 machine is -128..+127.
Thanks
It's a common situation that assigning a too large positive value to a signed value will end up being stored as a negative value.
The next issue is if the debugger will honor the "signed char" setting and present it as -16, or if it will present the value as 0xf0 or 240.
