[Bug c++/30277] bit-field: wrong overload resolution

[bangerth at dealii dot org]

------- Comment #1 from bangerth at dealii dot org  2007-01-21 05:16 -------
I only have the C99 standard, and there I read in 6.3.1.1 p2 that only
those variables are promoted to int that are of smaller size.

Similarly, in 6.3.1.8, integer promotion rules are specified, and they
specify that types in binary operations are always converted to the type
with the greater range. In your case, this would be signed long. Do
you disagree with this rationale?

Best
