Xor Results Incorrect

[djulien 0]

Bug description:

XOR does not produce correct results (inconsistent with other operators).

 

Steps to reproduce:

#include <system.h>

#define CONST1 0x780
#define CONST2 (0xF * 0x80) //0x780
#define CONST3 (0xA0 ^ 0x720) //0x780
#define CONST4 (0x7F80 & 0x7FF) //0x780

typedef unsigned char uint8;
typedef unsigned int uint16;

void main(void)
{
 volatile uint8 var8;
 volatile uint16 var16;

 var8 = CONST1; //0x80; this is the correct lower byte value
 var8 = CONST2; //0x80
 var8 = CONST3; //0x80
 var8 = CONST4; //0x80

 var16 = CONST1; //0x780; this is the correct 2-byte value
 var16 = CONST2; //0x780
 var16 = CONST3; //0x780
 var16 = CONST4; //0x780

 var8 = (CONST1 >> 1) & 0xff; //0xC0; this is the expected result
 var8 = (CONST2 >> 1) & 0xff; //0xC0
 var8 = (CONST3 >> 1) & 0xff; //0x40 INCONSISTENT
 var8 = (CONST4 >> 1) & 0xff; //0xC0

 var8 = (CONST1 >> 7) & 0xff; //0xF; this is the expected result
 var8 = (CONST2 >> 7) & 0xff; //0xF
 var8 = (CONST3 >> 7) & 0xff; //0x1 INCONSISTENT
 var8 = (CONST4 >> 7) & 0xff; //0xF
}

 

Expected behaviour:

Preserve upper byte of intermediate results so the result is consistent with other operators. (If this is a 16-bit vs. 8-bit issue, then the issue should exist for other operators besides XOR).

 

Is the problem 100% reproduceable:

yes
