Gary Lucas commented on SANSELAN-54:
------------------------------------
Thanks. I had no idea about the rule about left shifting an int into a long.
It makes sense, though. I'm really glad you caught that before the code got
into SVN. I did perform testing by comparing my stuff to the Java nio
ByteBuffer class and everything looked okay. I'll have to review the tests to
see if they were defective some how.

> Tiff (exif) tags of type double written in wrong byte order
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SANSELAN-54
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANSELAN-54
> Project: Commons Sanselan
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Tested under Windows XP. Potentally all platforms.
> Reporter: Gary Lucas
> Attachments: Sanselan-54-ExifByteOrder.patch
>
>
> Reviewing BinaryFileFunctions.java method convertDoubleToByteArray and
> convertDoubleArrayToByteArray there are two blocks of code, one for
> BYTE_ORDER_MOTOROLA (big endian) and one for BYTE_ORDER_INTEL (little
> endian). These are backwards.
> The convertByteArrayToDouble, on the other hand appears to be correct. A
> reasonable test procedure would be to see if these two sets of methods are
> mutually consistent.
> The same problem appears to be the case for the "Float" variants, but not the
> Integer variants.
