Reading a char from the file

[geekskick]

Using a file containing:

v = 25500

and extracting that using

const char a = init[""]["v"] | 'a';

I would expect that '25500' is out of range, so the fall back is used, but it isn't and the value 0x639c is used instead. This can be seen in #5 on line 292 and 291.

Could you make sure warnings are high? There is no officially supported char or unsigned char overload - this is most likely coercing 'a' to an integer, and then converting the int back down to a char size. MSVC (assuming you're using MSVC from your PR with .vscode) should be outputting a warning about this.

In theory, shorts/chars could be supported, it'd just be a matter of bounds checking.

My mistake I should have RTFM. I’ll remove the tests and close this issue.
