Works fine now... thanks for the reminder (but where is my Bible-C?!).

'Thought that the compiler would warn that signed data was compared with unsigned variables, but I guess you can not expect too much from a free compiler.

The compiler is behaving perfectly correctly!

ISO/IEC 9899:1990 - the so-called ''ANSI C'' specification - states:

''The type of an integer constant is the first of the corresponding list in which its value can be represented. Unsuffixed decimal: int, long int, unsigned long int...''

 

If you want to force the type of the constant to be unsigned, then you need to add the suffix 'u' or 'U'...

''Thought that the compiler would warn that signed data was compared with unsigned variables''

Other than special cases, what's to warn about?

What warning would you suggest?

can you provide an example of a compiler raising a warning for this?
