Hi, I noticed that sending a fixnum 6bytes long to guile returned a truncated fixnum of 4 of 4 bytes. I guess that this would not break the numeriks but it looks like we are wasting space here and/or clock cycles.
The suspicius part is line 66 in numbers.h #define SCM_MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM ((SCM_T_SIGNED_BITS_MAX-3)/4) which means that trunkation will be at 4bytes on a 64bit system. I changed 4 to 2 (mayby unsafe in corner cases) and the truncation disapeared. So Bugg Feature? Regards Stefan
