Implicit conversion while using += operator?
- by bdhar
Conside the following code:
int main()
{
signed char a = 10;
a += a; // Line 5
a = a + a;
return 0;
}
I am getting this warning at Line 5:
d:\codes\operator cast\operator
cast\test.cpp(5) : warning C4244: '+='
: conversion from 'int' to 'signed
char', possible loss of data
Does this mean that += operator makes an implicit cast of the right hand operator to int?
P.S: I am using Visual studio 2005
