http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36346 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-09-01 19:16 ------- What we are observing here is 31-bit overflow, not 32-bit overflow. Yes, 32-bot overflow will come later. But this bug makes it twice as likely to be wrong. Casting a signed int to an unsigned int doesn't do anything to the underlying bits. It just tells the compiler that some operations aren't possible: if ((unsigned int) x < 0), for example. But nothing changes at run-time. The bug is in the formatting code. Somebody probably called sprintf with %d instead of %u. That's a very common mistake. The fact that a '-' sign shows up is completely a bug in the function that formats the value for printing. Somebody thought that counts should be treated as signed; they're not. It's a formatting thing. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
