[Mono-dev] System.MathTest.TestIEEERemainder fails

[Zoltan Varga]

Hi,

This is now fixed in SVN using your suggestion. Btw, some of our tests
do fail on
sparc, this is not a problem for most applications tough.

> On analysing further, it is observed that:
> - In System/Math.cs, IEEERemainder uses InternalInt64BitsToDouble. Changing
> this to Int64BitsToDouble gave the expected result and the test case passed.
> - InternalInt64BitsToDouble() uses SwappableToDouble() under
> System/BitConverter.cs . Here it gets into (!IsLittleEndian) which fills the
> value in the big endian (reverse) order whereas Int64BitsToDouble uses
> ToDouble() which doesnot  perform this conversion based on endianness
> (!IsLittleEndian).
>
> We would like to know your valuable inputs on how to  address this issue for
> Solaris 7 sparc.
> Please let us know whether it would be  correct to use Int64BitsToDouble
> instead of InternalInt64BitsToDouble (conditionally built for Solaris 7
> sparc).
