I have been trying to figure out why I cannot return a Long Long
value from a routine.
I have two routines. One converts a string to Long Long value
and returns the LL to the calling program. The other routine converts a
LL to a string for display.
I have verified the LLToString works for all values of LL passed
to the function. String displays properly.
I have verified that the StringToLL calcualtes the correct value
right up to the point just prior to the return LLVal;
The problem is that the calling instruction is evaluated as
zero: x = StrToLL(char *str).
Now to isolate the problem, I figured I could use a Global
variable since I could not return the LL value but I discovered
something odd. So, I decided to bypass the StrToLL just to work
on a solution to this problem and to further isolate the problem.
This works:
unsigned long long x;
x = 9223372036854775806UL // x is local to calling statement
StrLLToS(unsigned long long x); // displays correctly
This does not work:
x = 92233720369854775806UL // x is global and unsigned long long
StrLLToS(unsigned long long x); // displays as zero
There is some problem with LL's when accessed as Global variables.
I think the explanation to why this difference is the same
reason that I cannot return the LL value in my StrAToLL function.
Can anyone shed light on this problem? What is the solution?
I cannot return LL values from a function.
I cannot access LL values properly, if global.
