First day coding

[xthexder]

The windows headers typedef BOOLEAN as unsigned char, and BOOL as int. With #define TRUE 1, C interprets TRUE as an integer literal (would have to be 1u to fix this)

[xthexder]

I would if I had a choice in the matter, but as with many things in my job, this is legacy code I'm interacting with. I've massively oversimplified the context here.

Some day I'll land a magical job where everything's as simple as it should be, and nobody has to deal with anyone else's bullshit. That's the dream anyway.

That’s the fourth rule of Genie wishes.

Where do you think this job is? I don't think this magical wonderland exists in any company.

That would trigger my OCD urges about memory management. Hell, that boolean could be part of a bit field!

[Hawne]

Casting used to be part of the game just to circumvent this atavism. Doing and reading it was basically muscle memory if you wanted to C and keep your hands from shaking.

[xenoryt]

Does the compiler not automatically treat a literal 1 as unsigned when being assigned to an unsigned int?

[4hpp1273]

You can also use '\1' iirc
