Ok, so I've tracked down the problem and it's pointing to Objects/longobject.c
line 599 where it tries to set *p to signbyte. Signbyte is either 0xffU or 0U.
The value of *p just before it returns is -5034415420011. This value is then
returned again on line 834 of the same file. Hence the end result is that
num_cycles in main.cc would take the value of -5034415420011. Is this correct
or intended? This is the code snippet:
/* Fill remaining bytes with copies of the sign bit. */
{
unsigned char signbyte = do_twos_comp ? 0xffU : 0U;
for ( ; j < n; ++j, p += pincr)
*p = signbyte;
}
Another thing is that when I was using GDB to debug this, a pollEvent-like
interrupt keeps coming in (like 5x per line of code) which makes stepping
through the debugger really hard. How do I turn this off?
Regards,
Christopher
