Hello
Gcc 3.4.2 on WinXP seems to generate a warning that it should not.
$ gcc -v

Thread model: win32
gcc version 3.4.2 (mingw-special)
The following C code shows the problem.
int foo() {
long long val1 = 1; /* No warn when val1 is a long long */
int c1 = (
((long long) val1)
((long long)(-2147483647L - 1))
);
long val2 = 1; /* incorrect warn when val2 is a long */
int c2 = (
((long long) val2)
((long long)(-2147483647L - 1))
);
return (c1 || c2);
}
$ gcc -c test.c
test.c: In function `foo':
test.c:11: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of
data type
Both of the tests in the code above should compile without a warning,
but the second one does not.
thanks much
