The DWARF file format uses both unsigned and signed LEB128 encoding for various fields. [ 2 ] LLVM , in its Coverage Mapping Format [ 8 ] LLVM's implementation of LEB128 encoding and decoding is useful alongside the pseudocode above.
The set of basic C data types is similar to Java's. Minimally, there are four types, char, int, float, and double, but the qualifiers short, long, signed, and unsigned mean that C contains numerous target-dependent integer and floating-point primitive types. [15]
LEB128 uses two's complement to represent signed numbers. In this scheme of representation, n bits encode a range from −2 n to 2 n − 1, and all negative numbers start with a 1 in the most significant bit. In Signed LEB128, the input is sign-extended so that its length is a multiple of 7 bits. From there the encoding proceeds as usual.
Convert unsigned to an unsigned int8 (on the stack as int32) and throw an exception on overflow. Base instruction 0xB6 conv.ovf.u2: Convert to an unsigned int16 (on the stack as int32) and throw an exception on overflow. Base instruction 0x87 conv.ovf.u2.un: Convert unsigned to an unsigned int16 (on the stack as int32) and throw an exception on ...
If the source of the operation is an unsigned number, then zero extension is usually the correct way to move it to a larger field while preserving its numeric value, while sign extension is correct for signed numbers. In the x86 and x64 instruction sets, the movzx instruction ("move with zero extension") performs this function.
Note: when increasing the size of a signed vector the leftmost bits are filled with the sign bit, while truncation retains the sign bit along with the (n-1) rightmost bits. For an unsigned vector, a size increase fills the leftmost bits with zero, while truncation retains n rightmost bits.
For Integers, the unsigned modifier defines the type to be unsigned. The default integer signedness outside bit-fields is signed, but can be set explicitly with signed modifier. By contrast, the C standard declares signed char, unsigned char, and char, to be three distinct types, but specifies that all three must have the same size and alignment.
C++ is also more strict in conversions to enums: ints cannot be implicitly converted to enums as in C. Also, enumeration constants (enum enumerators) are always of type int in C, whereas they are distinct types in C++ and may have a size different from that of int. [needs update] In C++ a const variable must be initialized; in C this is not ...
