GCC 4.8.0 compilation in / for 32-bit.
I find the behavior of cases 2 and 6 to be confused:
int16_t s16 = 0;
double dbl = 0.0;
s16 = (int16_t)((double)32767.0); // 1: s16 = 32767
s16 = (int16_t)((double)32768.0); // 2: s16 = 32767
s16 = (int16_t)((double)-32768.0); // 3: s16 = -32768
s16 = (int16_t)((double)-32769.0); // 4: s16 = -32768
dbl = 32767.0;
s16 = (int16_t)dbl; // 5: s16 = 32767
dbl = 32768.0;
s16 = (int16_t)dbl; // 6: s16 = -32768
dbl = -32768.0;
s16 = (int16_t)dbl; // 7: s16 = -32768
dbl = -32769.0;
s16 = (int16_t)dbl; // 8: s16 = -32768
I understand that the implementation is defined, but the sequence will still be enjoyable. Can someone explain what is happening?
