Re: x2d() bug

Post by nbache »

The signed/unsigned thing was in relation to the TRL-2 definition, i.e. Rexx, not necessarily ARexx.

I don't know enough about it to judge whether there is indeed a bug here, but I suspect it's more of a limitation rooted in the age of our implementation (32/64 bit etc.).

But if someone knows more, I'm eager to hear it.


Best regards,

Look at my first statement, there's a signed/unsigned thing, without Rexx knowledge you won't understand it.

I do have quite a bit of (A)Rexx knowledge, and I do understand what you're explaining in the first post.

What I'm not sure about is whether this issue is simply to be expected from our implementation with its limitations.

Best regards,

Niels
