c - 错误地更新位字段

Question

我正在尝试解决一个问题。它说，

Initialize a new variable to the value 17512807u.

Assume we number the bits as usual from 0 as least significant (on the right) to 31 (most significant, on the left). Update bits 18 through 21 with the integer value 8 and bits 10 through 14 with value 17 (decimal). Print the resulting value as an eight digit hexadecimal number to show all of the digits.

这是我想出的代码:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    int value = 17512807u;
    int L = 21; // starting left position
    int R = 18; // starting right position

    int mask = (1 << (L - R + 1) - 1) << R; 
    int newField = (8 << R) & mask; // integer value 8, shifting to right
    int newValue = value & (~mask); // remove range of bits
    value = newField | newValue; // update range of bits

    L = 14;
    R = 10;

    mask = (1 << (L - R + 1) - 1) << R;
    newField = (17 << R) & mask;
    newValue = value & (~mask);
    value = newField | newValue;

    printf("%08x\n", value);
}

我得到的答案是012b7d67

但是，有人告诉我这是错误的答案。我不知道正确答案是什么。

Answer 1

int mask = ((1 << (L - R + 1)) - 1) << R;
