My bit masks are bytes, and I’d like to keep them exactly as they are, but I think they’re sign extended. I don’t care if the byte is considered positive or negative, as long as it has the same bits set. I just spent a few hours debugging my code, and then I found I’m only having a problem with my byte bit masks when they happen to be negative, it took a while to find out. I can’t be the only one who’s had a problem with this. Is there a way to make a byte behave as if it was unsigned?

Do you have right-shift in your code? do you use ‘>>’ instead of ‘>>>’? There is your problem.
