It is the following efficient and hassle-free way to convert an unsigned int to int in C ++:
#include <limits.h>
void safeConvert(unsigned int passed)
{
int variable = static_cast<int>(passed % (INT_MAX+1));
...
}
Or is there a better way?
UPDATE
As James McNellis noted, it is not undefined to assign unsigned int> INT_MAX to an integer - rather, this implementation is defined. So the context here currently definitely depends on my preference, to ensure that this integer is reset to zero when the unsigned int exceeds INT_MAX.
Source context
I have an unsigned int number used as counters, but you want to pass them as integers in a specific case.
