| hobbs | integral: two's complement it yourself? :) |

| hobbs | integral: if ($num & 1<<15) { $num = ($num ^ 0xffff) + 1 } or so |
| integral | eww. |
| xand | dazjorz: didn't you do your homework? :P |
| mauke | if ($n >= 0x8000) { $n = -(~$n + 1 & 0xffff) } ? |
| integral | I'll just beat up anyone who exercises this code path in my code. mauke's looks good. It was the & 0xffff bit that irritated me. |
| dazjorz | xand: I did, actually, but now I gotta quit |
| rindolf | Hi all. Hi dazjorz |
| dazjorz | and they are used to having an e-mail program open hi rindolf :) |
| integral | hmm, don't most processors have a 16->32 sign extend opcode for just this case? |
| battle_rodent | well so much for philosophy and the free flow of discussion |

| dazjorz | plus some extra programs here and there |

| dazjorz | xand: no, I need to shutdown my PC |
| xand | that then |
| shemale_suprise | daz I know exactly how you feel |
| mauke | integral: if ($n >= 0x8000) { $n -= 0x10000 } ? |
| dazjorz | xand: because it's 21:56 here, and that's "bed time" for them |
