What is the purpose of the unary '+' operator? In both C and Go they are syntactically correct but neither generate instructions to modify the expression.
The '-' operator obviously generates a neg or sub from 0 instruction to negate the result by inverting the expression with an add with carry. I know of no single instruction or pair of instructions to reliably ensure any value or expression is always positive so why include this unary operator at all? Is there a purpose I'm missing? Or is it just for clarity or force an implicit variable to be signed? As in: x := +5 Would this ensure that x must be signed during impicit type inference? If I read the specification correctly, this would also affect the resolution of untyped constants. Is this correct? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
