Bitwise shift operation in C on uint64_t variable

Question

I have the following sample code:

uint64_t x, y;
x = ~(0xF<<24);
y = ~(0xFF<<24);

The result would be:

x=0xffff         


        

Answer 1

The default operation is 32 bit.

x=~(0xf<<24);

This code could be disassembled into the following steps:

int32_t a;
a=0x0000000f;
a<<=24;   // a=0x0f000000;
a=~a;     // a=0xf0ffffff;
x=(uint64_t)a;  // x = 0xfffffffff0ffffff;

And,

y = ~(0xFF<<24);

int32_t a;
a=0x000000ff;
a<<=24;   // a=0xff000000;
a=~a;     // a=0x00ffffff;
x=(uint64_t)a;  // x = 0x000000000ffffff;
