Hi,
I finally discovered the cause of a strange crash on some pc for the
os2 port. It is due to an invalid float operation in MetricField
class. It seems that some CPU are processing some invalid float value,
which in turn generates the exception.
Surprisingly, the source code has this remark
sal_Int64 MetricField::ConvertValue( sal_Int64 nValue, sal_Int64
mnBaseValue, sal_uInt16 nDecDigits,
FieldUnit eInUnit, FieldUnit
eOutUnit )
{
// caution: precision loss in double cast
return static_cast<sal_Int64>(
// #150733# cast double to sal_Int64 can throw a
// EXCEPTION_FLT_INVALID_OPERATION on Windows
nonValueDoubleToValueDouble(
ConvertDoubleValue( (double)nValue, mnBaseValue,
nDecDigits,
eInUnit, eOutUnit ) ) );
}
but issue 150733 is not existing in current bugzilla database. I think
it is an internal staroffice/sun/oracle issue.
Do someone know how has it been resolved?
This bug is present when users show the page settings dialog to select
margins and page size. Since it happens when very big numbers are used
forI found a workaround using
mnMax = 0x00000000FFFFFFFFLL;
as initializer in void NumericFormatter::ImplInit()
thanks,
