Visual Studio show this Debug Error: Run-Time Check Failure #1 - A cast to a smaller data type has caused a loss of data. If this was intentional, you should mask the source of the cast with the appropriate bitmask. For example:
char c = (i & 0xFF); Changing the code in this way will not affect the quality of the resulting optimized code. After debug, I find the reason is cast to uint8_t. When cast values bigger than 256 to uint8_t in line 1421-1423, the Debug Error will be triggered. //mhd_str.c size_t MHD_base64_to_bin_n (const char *base64, size_t base64_len, void *bin, size_t bin_size){ //…… 1421 out[j + 0] = (uint8_t) ((((uint8_t) v1) << 2) | (((uint8_t) v2) >> 4)); 1422 out[j + 1] = (uint8_t) ((((uint8_t) v2) << 4) | (((uint8_t) v3) >> 2)); 1423 out[j + 2] = (uint8_t) ((((uint8_t) v3) << 6) | (((uint8_t) v4))); //…… } In Visual Studio, the Debug mode default open /RTC1, but the Release mode doesn’t. As the suggestion by Visual Studio, if we modify the current git master(mhd_str.c) to: 2375 out[j + 0] = (uint8_t) ((((uint8_t) ((((uint8_t) v1) << 2)&0xFF)) | ((uint8_t) (((uint8_t) v2) >> 4))) & 0xFF); 2377 out[j + 1] = (uint8_t) ((((uint8_t) ((((uint8_t) v2) << 4) & 0xFF)) | ((uint8_t) (((uint8_t) v3) >> 2))) & 0xFF); 2379 out[j + 2] = (uint8_t) ((((uint8_t) ((((uint8_t) v3) << 6)&0xFF)) | ((uint8_t) (((uint8_t) v4)))) & 0xFF); The error didn'tn appear. Otherwise, if we ignore the error, the program still works.
