[Speex-dev] using unsigned short instead of short for input frame

[Mashal al-shboul]

Thanks for your appreciated help.
i found casting fromunsigned short to short gives different value: unsigned short FFFF=65535 where short FFFF= -1.
however, can i configure speex codec (specifically speex_encode_int function) to take input of type unsigned short instead of short so that i avoid casting errors ?

Regards,
Mashal

uint16_t is usually a typedef of an unsigned short or int depending of the platform. It is supposed to work. About unsigned short to short conversion it is normal since unsigned short starts at 0 and short starts at -((2^16)/2)-1 [-32767]. If you really want to keep the same numeric value you could cast the short to unsigned int (32bytes) and add 32767 to the value.
