Branch: master Commit: 9b977c836bf147d386944c401113aba32776fa68 System: 32 bit x86 Fedora 16
(use-modules (rnrs bytevectors)) (define not-32-bit (expt 2 32)) (define bv (make-bytevector 4)) (bytevector-u32-set! bv 0 not-32-bit (endianness big)) (pk bv) Running this gives me a core dump. It happens for a wide range of values that don't fit in 32 bits. After some talk on #guile, Mark and I believe it comes down to the range check in INTEGER_ACCESSOR_PROLOGUE in bytevectors.c -- Ian Price -- shift-reset.com "Programming is like pinball.
