Oh, like the lower 8 bits are like additional precision “digits” that are being 
truncated… I would not have expected that either. Comments in the GRC XML file 
would be good…

Subject: Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Operation of short to char

I think that I posted something similar few weeks ago. I also didn't expect 
that 0-255 short goes to 0 char, and spent like a day trying to figure out the 
bug, but at the end it is like that.

Hi,

Just wondering if the operation of short to char is a bug or intentional. The 
most significant 8 bits of the short gets converted to char, ie:

0-255 (short) -> 0 (char)
256-511 (short) -> 1 (char)
512-767 (short) -> 2 (char)

This is not the operation I expected, but the unit test allows it to work this 
way, so I am confused.

Regards,

Stephen
