note 103504 added to errorfunc.constants

-1 is also semantically meaningless as a bit field, and only works in 2s-complement numeric representations. On a 1s-complement system -1 would not set E_ERROR. On a sign-magnitude system -1 would set nothing at all! (see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ones%27_complement) If you want to set all bits, ~0 is the correct way to do it. But setting undefined bits could result in undefined behaviour and that means *absolutely anything* could happen :-) ---- Server IP: 109.169.40.147 Probable Submitter: 188.220.56.250 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.constants.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103504 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103504/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103504/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103504/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103504/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103504/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103504/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103504 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103504 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
