[ruby-talk:5629] Re: Problem with pack on 64-bit machines

Hi,

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working yet.  It looks like the
"sizeof" in two of the macros are an oversight, and further down
OFF16B and OFF32B were getting redefined on a NATINT_PACK but
not WORDS_BIGENDIAN machine.  Here's my shot at fixing it:


--- pack.c~     Tue Oct 17 00:28:22 2000
+++ pack.c      Tue Oct 17 00:36:28 2000
@@ -24,12 +24,15 @@
 #ifdef NATINT_PACK
 # define OFF16B(p) ((char*)(p) + (natint?0:(sizeof(short) - SIZE16)))
 # define OFF32B(p) ((char*)(p) + (natint?0:(sizeof(long) - SIZE32)))
-# define NATINT_I32(x) (natint?sizeof(NUM2LONG(x)):(NUM2I32(x)))
-# define NATINT_U32(x) (natint?sizeof(NUM2ULONG(x)):(NUM2U32(x)))
+# define NATINT_I32(x) (natint?(NUM2LONG(x)):(NUM2I32(x)))
+# define NATINT_U32(x) (natint?(NUM2ULONG(x)):(NUM2U32(x)))
 # define NATINT_LEN(type,len) (natint?sizeof(type):(len))
 # ifdef WORDS_BIGENDIAN
 #   define OFF16(p) OFF16B(p)
 #   define OFF32(p) OFF32B(p)
+# else
+#  define OFF16(p) (char*)(p)
+#  define OFF32(p) (char*)(p)
 # endif
 #else
 # define NATINT_I32(x) NUM2I32(x)


At least "make test" now doesn't fail, and the tests I did with
pack and unpack of "N" and "n" and a few others all seemed to be
working.

Thanks,
Wes.
