On some machines, iio-sensor-proxy was returning all 0's for IIO sensor values. It turns out that the bits_used for this sensor is 32, which makes the mask calculation: *mask = (1 << 32) - 1; If the compiler interprets the 1 literals as 32-bit ints, it generates undefined behavior depending on compiler version and optimization level. On my system, it optimizes out the shift, so the mask value becomes *mask = (1) - 1; With a mask value of 0, iio-sensor-proxy will always return 0 for every axis. Avoid incorrect 0 values caused by compiler optimization.
