Hi,
I've found some very strange behavior in my code, and I've distilled the
problem down into these few lines of code:
char s[10];
double d;
s[0] = '4';
d = (double) (s[0] - '0');
HostTraceOutputTL(appErrorClass, "Number is %ld", (Int32) d);
StrCopy(s, "4");
d = (double) (s[0] - '0');
HostTraceOutputTL(appErrorClass, "Number is %ld", (Int32) d);
The output from these statements is:
Number is 4
Number is 0
How can the results be different? I've tried every kind of cast and
intermediate variable I could think of. Whether s is char or unsigned char
makes no difference either.
In my code, I need this to work for each character in a string. What do I
need to do to the code so that I can StrCopy a string into s and have it
work correctly?
(I ran this in POSE 3.0a8 using both the 3.0 and 3.5 ROMs on a Windows Me
machine. My GCC version says "gcc version egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1
release)".)
Thanks!
Tom
