int8 function
Implementation
int int8(int value) {
// Mask to 8-bit unsigned integer
int maskedValue = value & 0xFF;
// Check if the value is larger than the max int8_t range
if (maskedValue > 0x7F) {
// Convert to a negative int8 by subtracting 2^8
return maskedValue - 0x100;
} else {
// Return as is if it's within the int8 range
return maskedValue;
}
}
