Compiler Warning (level 3) CS0675
Bitwise-or operator used on a sign-extended operand; consider casting to a smaller unsigned type first
The compiler implicitly widened and sign-extended a variable, and then used the resulting value in a bitwise OR operation. This can result in unexpected behavior.
The following sample generates CS0675:
// CS0675.cs
// compile with: /W:3
using System;
public class sign
{
public static void Main()
{
int hi = 1;
int lo = 1;
long value = (((long)hi) << 32) | lo; // CS0675
// try the following line instead
// long value = (((long)hi) << 32) | ((uint)lo); // correct
}
}
