RE: RE: odd optimization differences of shift between C andC++

I'm using Arduino 1.8.13 with avr-g++ (GCC) 7.3.0.

char x;
x >>= 5 generates asm (promoted to 16 bit signed) with 5* asr+ror;
x = x * (1<<(8-5)) / 256
generates 5* asr (without type promotion).

Kind regards,
Jochen

I would say that it's bug-worthy, as a missed optimization bug. FYI, there are
more bugs with the C++ compiler for the AVR than for the C compiler. So I'm not
totally surprised that this is happening.

BTW, could you please subscribe to the mailing list? That way your posts do not
