    Yes, the if you use [] that casts it automatiocally to signed but the value is still 0xff

      There is my full code , this is just test unit. I need exactly int value in it , and how i understand '\xFF' will store char in it ?

      #include <QCoreApplication>
      #include <QByteArray>
      #include <QString>
      #include <QTextStream>
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QTextStream cin(stdin); cin.setCodec("CP866");
          QTextStream cout(stdout); cout.setCodec("CP866");
          QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
          QByteArray ba;
          ba.resize(4);
          ba[0] = 0xFF;
          ba[1] = 0xFF;
          ba[2] = 0xF;
          ba[3] = 0xF;
          char tdi[16];
          int b=0;
          for(int i=0;i<4;i++)
          {
              uint16_t mask = 0x8;
              for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++)
              {
                  tdi[b] = (ba[i] & mask) ? '1' : '0';
                  mask >>= 1;
                  b++;
              }
      
          }
          for(int i=0;i<16;i++)
          {
              cout<<tdi[i]<<endl;
          }
          cout<<tdi<<endl;
          cout<<ba[0]<<endl;
          //cout<<sizeof(tdi)<<endl;
          return a.exec();
      }

      In addition to the solutions offered by @VRonin....

      I am not a C++-er, but I believe in your case your can use the U suffix to make your constant values unsigned int and thus convertible to unsigned char:

      ba[0] = 0xFFU;
      

      ?

          Yeah, but ba is signed char...

            true, but the warning one gets with ba[0] = 0xFF is not about usigned and signed char but rather between int and char

            0xFFU == unsigned char(0xFF) == uchar(0xFF) != 0xFF

            the implicit conversation to ba[0] does not "drop" information

              @J.Hilk have you tried?

                  QByteArray ba;
                  ba.resize(4);
                  ba[0] = char(0xFF); // no warning
                  ba[1] = 0xFFU; // warning: implicit conversion changes signedness: 'unsigned int' to 'char'
                  ba[2] = 0xFF; // warning: implicit conversion changes signedness: 'int' to 'char'

                to be honest, I'm surprised about the uint part.

                  @J.Hilk

                  then you can be surprised about the uchar() part too.

                  But the biggest surprise: your code will not even compile in gcc and clang because of line 65.

                  And one more hint: your code will crash as you access invalid index in ba ;)

                    nope doesn't crash, ignore the project name its my test anything project x).

                    resize is apparently not a necessity?

                    Edit:
                    also ignore value 0, I commeted that line out, to run it with gcc, so theres a random value.

                      Ah, my fault: "If an assignment is made beyond the end of the byte array, the array is extended with resize() before the assignment takes place."

                      A big difference to QVector or QList here.
