C++ Rants

1. Compiler warning: "warning: this decimal constant is unsigned only in ISO C90" on assigning max literal constants to variables:
   

    unsigned int myInt1 = 4294967295;  
    int myInt2 = -4294967295;  
   

   
   Solution: Add literal suffix u for unsigned int, l for long and ul for unsigned long. There is no literal suffix for signed int, so there is still a warning for signed int.
   

    unsigned int myInt1 = 4294967295u;  
   

   
   
2. Literal string is considered as boolean. Codes below will print "bool value: 1".

    #include <iostream>  
      
    using namespace std;  
      
    void myPrint(string value) {  
      cout << "string value: " << value << endl;  
    }  
      
    void myPrint(bool value) {  
      cout << "bool value: " << value << endl;  
    }  
      
    int main() {  
      myPrint("hello");  
      return 0;  
    }
