C++ bit fields and -Wconversion

Question

-Wconversion produce advertencias cuando asigno un valor a un campo de bit con g ++.

struct Foo 
{ 
public: 
    unsigned int x : 4; 
    unsigned int y : 9; 
    unsigned int z : 17; 
}; 

int main(int, char**) 
{ 
    int a = 12; 
    Foo f; 
    f.x = a; 
    f.x = (unsigned int)a; 
    f.x = (unsigned char)a; 
    f.x = (unsigned short)a; 
    f.x = (unsigned)a; 

    f.y = a; 
    f.y = (unsigned int)a; 
    f.y = (unsigned char)a; // no warning, sizeof(char) < 9 
    f.y = (unsigned short)a; 
    f.y = (unsigned)a; 

    f.z = a; 
    f.z = (unsigned int)a; 
    f.z = (unsigned char)a; // no warning, sizeof(char) < 17 
    f.z = (unsigned short)a; // no warning, sizeof(char) < 17 
    f.z = (unsigned)a; 
}

Quiero -Wconversion habilitado para otras partes de mi proyecto (incluyendo dentro de este archivo). ¿Cómo "corrijo" las instrucciones de asignación aquí para no recibir advertencias?

Answer 1

Asegúrese de que la conversión no se desborde. He aquí una manera:

struct Foo 
{ 
public: 
    unsigned int x : 4; 
    unsigned int y : 9; 
    unsigned int z : 17; 
}; 

int main(int, char**) 
{ 
    int a = 12; 
    Foo f; 
    f.x = static_cast<unsigned int>(a & 15);  
    f.y = static_cast<unsigned int>(a & 511); 
    f.z = static_cast<unsigned int>(a & 131071); 
} 

Answer 2

Wconversion incluirá un aviso cada vez que hay un posible que su conversión implícita podría alterar su valor. Dicho esto, no hay problema con tu código.

El uso de static_cast<usigned_int> como se mencionó anteriormente solucionará su problema.
