I try to do multiplication where overflowing is expected and the result should be handled "modulo" ie the multiplication results in a truncated long.
user> (unchecked-multiply (Long/MAX_VALUE) (Long/MAX_VALUE)) 1 ;;is ok and expected also classificator.fnvhash> (unchecked-multiply Long/MAX_VALUE Long/MAX_VALUE) 1 (side note: what is different between Long/MAX_VALUE and the function call (Long/MAX_VALUE)?) BUT: user> (def max1 Long/MAX_VALUE) #'user/max1 user> (def max2 Long/MAX_VALUE) #'user/max2 user> (unchecked-multiply max1 max2) results in a "integer overflow". I have tried to type hinting and what not. It seems like unchecked-multiply doesn't like vars, but thats surprising. What am I doing wrong here?
