ID: 27258 User updated by: oscar at the-rileys dot net Reported By: oscar at the-rileys dot net Status: Open Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: NetBSD 1.6 PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-02-15 (dev) New Comment:
I neglected to mention that this is vs. CVS snapshot 200402142230. The original bugfix that caused the problem was submitted on 2/8/04. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-15 01:14:04] oscar at the-rileys dot net Description: ------------ The fix for bug #27172 (possible floating-point exception in gmp_powm) breaks the function with modulos longer than 31 bits. This is because the modulo argument is converted (destructively) to a long before it is fetched as a GMP number. The problem is rectified by moving the block that checks for a zero modulo to a point after the argument is fetched for use in the function. I have posted a diff here: http://oscar.the-rileys.net/php5-gpm_powm-patch.diff I have tested this on my own server, and it appears to fix the problem with at least 1024-bit modulos and still guards against 0 modulos - test for yourself to be sure, of course, Reproduce code: --------------- This is the example code from the documentation page for gpm_powm: <?php $pow1 = gmp_powm("2", "31", "2147483649"); echo gmp_strval($pow1) . "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- The number 2147483648 should be output. Actual result: -------------- The number 1 is output. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27258&edit=1
