Richard,
As of interest, I've modified your code below and ran on two systems:
a) Sun Ultra-Enterprise SPARC (gcc)
b) Windows XP AMD (VS .NET 2003)
Code snippet:
union utest {
double r;
long long i;
unsigned char z[8];
};
float test_2;
int main(int argc, char **argv){
union utest x;
x.r = 1.0;
printf("%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x\n",
x.z[0], x.z[1], x.z[2], x.z[3], x.z[4], x.z[5], x.z[6], x.z[7]);
x.i = 1;
printf("%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x\n",
x.z[0], x.z[1], x.z[2], x.z[3], x.z[4], x.z[5], x.z[6], x.z[7]);
test_2 = 1.0;
printf("%08x\n", *((unsigned int *) &test_2) );
return 0;
}
Results:
a)
3ff0000000000000
0000000000000001
3f800000
wsi012 (16) file test2
test2: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically
linked, not stripped
b)
000000000000f03f
0100000000000000

Nick
