Lasly, (sorry for not collecting all thoughts first), suspect the problem may be that ~ is being considered as being analogous to an arithmetic -, which it shoudn't be; therefore ~(any constant value >= 0) should be compatible with either signed or unsiged. although -(any constant value >= 0) should be compatible with only signed witout a cast. (as ~ is a bit-wise operation, not a arithmetic one, otherwise one couldn't even specify: (unsigned)x = (unsigned)x & 0x3; without a cast, likely generating tons of useless warnings) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19457
