https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12088 Summary: Bugs caused by using logical 'and' instead of bitwise 'and' Product: D Version: D2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc This is not an enhancement request, it shows a language small design problem. D gives no warnings nor errors on this code: void main() { uint x; ubyte y = (x >> 16) && 0xFF; } Here to extract a ubyte the programmer has used a logical 'and' instead of a bitwise 'and' by mistake. And it's not an uncommon mistake. Ideas to face this kind of bugs are welcome. -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
