Get lower 32 bits from uint64

Haojian Wu edited this page Apr 12, 2018 · 1 revision

Just assign to the destination integer -- uint32_t lower = static_cast<uint32_t>(my_uint_64).

This is safe, from The C++ Programming Language 10.5.2.1

If the destination type is unsigned, the resulting value is simply as many bits from the source as will fit in the destination (high-order bits are thrown away if necessary);

If the desination type is signed, the value is unchanged if it can be represented in the destination type; otherwise, the value is implementation-defined
