Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to instruct Keil to compile char's as unsigned char's by default?
I know that there are some help topics on this issue, but they seem to be giving a precompiler directive to tell the compiler to always compile char's as signed char's....
Thanks! Eric
Let me see if I understand you.
This particular compiler treat unsigned char and char the same way, but because someone may assume that it is done the other way the compiler complain when you mix the two.
Thus, if your 'understanding' of (un)signed char and char is the same as the compiler it is safe to ignore the warning. (I disagree here: I would never consider it safe to ignore a warning - but that is a different story)
am I right?
When accused of being ignorant rather than getting a simple statement (maybe with a reference), I have no reason to put any credence to the response from the accuser. Robert, since you gave me a 'sane' explanation, I will admit that my 'knowledge' based on a statement in (was it) '87 by the instructor of the C class I then took: "char and signed char is the same" may have changed since then/been wrong. He actually added "to be clear always state (un)signed char, never just char". I have NEVER used just 'char' (I like to be specific as well) thus there has never been a reason to believe that statement from '87 and Kochans seeming agreement with it was incorrect.
I wonder if Jack Sprat peruses several books to verify his knowledge before posting, I doubt it, so it is very possible that at some time it will be him that is "the grossly opinionated that show his ignorance with such panache"
