<div>I just checekd, and I can confirm that the LONGINT version of the code produces INCORRECT results on a 32 bit system, as well as a 64 bit system. Both are running Linux, with cm3 5.8.6<br>

<td valign="top">Hi all:<br>
the problem as I see is that your program isn't typed for any platform in specific just to give you the best answer, then I would stick to the original and track down the source of the problem (this is very point of type checking, and e.g extended static checking
if I may say so, the need to verify your statements, the other approach is too cumbersome, i.e make it believe it works when it doesn't). IMHO this a symptom of UNSAFE type checking problem, rather of programming or programmer error.<br>
I hope to be clarified about this, as far as I know LONGINT isn't INTEGER but a bigger or equal type (a bigger INTEGER) which translates better to be a super type, since it isn't I wonder why is that needed a different type checker for that (we can transform
INTEGER to be the true super type and LONGINT to be a subtype), can't we make the same checking and just range check everything else (so it doesn't bother to rewrite every platform code, a bad symptom certainly, yet I approve the change in the language SPEC
but not its type checking).<br>
Thanks in advance<br>

i.e.:<br>

Use "unsafe" and print out a little hex dump of the integer/longint variables?<br>
<br>
As well, what does LONGINT on a 64bit machine do? Eh..well, it might work, it might not.<br>
Doesn't really matter. Let's focus on non-working 32bit machine with LONGINT.<br>
<br>
Also, please confirm which is the right, i.e. by writing it in C.<br>
Also, maybe just try to format as unsigned/hex using the safe interfaces?<br>
Also, this will be good to add to our automated tests. Assuming it doesn't run too slowly.<br>
Assuming it reproduces for anyone else (sorry, a bit rude of me).<br>
