Thanks. Is there any way to output a unsigned char/char value without casting it to (int) (long ...)? One reason to do this is to preserve the size of the char. A byte is not defined as 8-bits. 8-bits is defined as an octet. I have seen byte sizes of 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, and 16 bits on various pieces of hardware and whether a wide-char is used. Forcing the char to int changes the number of bits used. There are other ways of treating the problem(s) but I wonder if there is a way to just output a char in hex directly. art ----- Original Message ---- From: Jonathan Wakely <jwakely.gcc@xxxxxxxxx> To: Arthur Schwarz <aschwarz1309@xxxxxxx> Cc: "gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx" <gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, August 9, 2012 2:46:34 PM Subject: Re: Unable to output unsigned char/char in hex On 9 August 2012 22:10, Arthur Schwarz wrote: > The code (below) is an output example.
