C89 restricts bit fields to (signed) int and unsigned int only, although later standards note that additional types may be supported. ORCA/C supports the other integer types as an extension.
This fixes the compco01.c test case.
This patch should also permit the union initialization code to handle unions containing bit fields, but for the time being they are still prohibited by code elsewhere in the compiler.
The case label values are converted to the promoted type of the expression being switched on, as if by a cast. In practice, this means discarding the high bits of a 32-bit value to produce a 16-bit one.
Code requiring this is dubious and would be a good candidate for a warning or a lint error, but it's allowed under the C standards.
The following code demonstrates the issue:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int i = 0x1234;
switch (i) {
case 0xABCD1234:
puts("good");
break;
default:
puts("bad");
}
}
