Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jakub at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #1 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- For unsigned short x <<= 1U is after integral promotions x = (((int) x) << 1U); and -Wconversion warns about the conversion of the int value to unsigned short. Consider e.g. x being 0x8000, x << 1U then is 0x10000 and the implicit conversion alters the value. If x is unsigned int, there is no promotion, so if x is e.g. 0x80000000U, then x << 1U is 0 and nothing is altered.
