OOH.. nice one. I had missed that in my template implementation.  I'm a big fan of using C++ templating to do type-safe versions of this kind of stuff...   This is my template version:
/** Sign extend an unsigned to a signed integer of the same size.
 */
template<typename UINT, typename INT, uint8_t SIGNBIT>
INT sign_extend( UINT uvalue)
{
  typedef typename std::make_unsigned<INT>::type uint_t;
  uint_t newuvalue = uvalue;
  if ( newuvalue & ( UINT(1U) << SIGNBIT) ) {
    newuvalue |= ~((uint_t(1U) << SIGNBIT) - 1);
  }
  return reinterpret_cast<INT &>(uvalue);
}
It could probably be converted into a version that would infer some of the types.. but this should work pretty well and should compile down to close to the same code.
Usage from my code: Where BYTES is a templated integer value parameter.
 res = sign_extend < uint32_t, int32_t, BYTES * 8 - 1 > (ures);

I also have a templated buffer extractor that allows for checking available space!
For example this code (which extracts 2 bytes as a signed integer), which should now work with sign extension thanks to your bugfix and the above templated version of sign extension:

         int32_t signedValue;
         if (!can_buff_int<2>(data, 10, signedValue )) {
           ESP_LOGE(TAG, "IoniqISOTP.BMC: BMS Current: Bad Buffer");
         } else {
           StdMetrics.ms_v_bat_current->SetValue((float)signedValue / 10.0, Amps);
         }

Dear list,

I've come across an issue with the DBC parser where a non-32-bit negative number was incorrectly decoded.

I've traced this to an issue with sign-extension ; and I've proposed a fix here https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/pull/736

Before having it merged, I'd like to gather some feedback from users of the DBC module.

Please have a look, and comment directly on the GitHub PR.

Thanks in advance !

Regards,

Ludovic
