Summary: bitshift warnings
Product: gcc
Version: 4.5.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: claytongdavis@gmail.com
This is a request to improve the warnings for bitshifts where the right operand
is negative or >= the size of the left operand. I am aware that this is
undefined behavior, but a warning would be nice in a case like the one included
below. GCC implements a cyclic bitshift instead.
$ more gcc_bitshift.C
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int shift = 32;
std::cout<<"0xFFFFFFFF>>32 = "<<(0xFFFFFFFF>>shift)<<std::endl;
std::cout<<"1<<32 = "<<(1<<shift)<<std::endl;
shift = -1;
std::cout<<"0xFFFFFFFF>>(-1) = "<<(0xFFFFFFFF>>shift)<<std::endl;
std::cout<<"1<<(-1) = "<<(1<<shift)<<std::endl;
}
$ g++ -Wall -Wextra gcc_bitshift.C
$ ./a.out
0xFFFFFFFF>>32 = 4294967295
1<<32 = 1
0xFFFFFFFF>>(-1) = 1
1<<(-1) = -2147483648
$ g++ -v
