John Karp created AVRO-1523:
-------------------------------
Summary: Perl API: int/long type minimum value checks are off by
one
Key: AVRO-1523
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1523
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: perl
Reporter: John Karp
Assignee: John Karp
Priority: Minor
-2,147,483,648 is rejected as an int, and −9,223,372,036,854,775,808 is
rejected as a long when passed to the binary encoder, but they are valid signed
32-bit and 64-bit numbers respectively.
The problem is that the range check is made against the absolute value of the
input, but in two's complement arithmetic types the minimum and maximum values
have different absolute values.
