[Mono-dev] Error handling longs on Mono SPARC

[pablosantosluac at terra.es]

Hi there,

This is our configuration:

-bash-3.00$ uname -a
SunOS atenea 5.11 snv_34 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000

-bash-3.00$ mono --version
Mono JIT compiler version 20091021 (tarball Wed Oct 21 19:04:28 CEST 2009)

We're using a Mono 2.6 compiled at our test box.


We've a code like this:

long dstBrId = GetBranchNumber(brId);

log.DebugFormat("Branch {0} -> {1}", brId, dstBrId);


Calling this method:

        private long GetBranchNumber(long brId)
        {
            Branch br = (Branch) mFetchBranches[brId];

            if( br != null )
            {
                return br.ObjId;
            }

            log.DebugFormat("GetBranchNumber returning {0}", brId);

            return brId;
        }

And that's the log it is showing:

 - GetBranchNumber returning 4
 - Branch 4 -> 17179869188

It looks like, for some reason, this 4 is "magically" becoming a
17179869188!!!!!!

17179869188 is -> 400000004 in hex!!!!

And, it *gets fixed by building disabling the "optimize" mode*


Of course, a test app like this:

using System;

class Hello
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Hello t = new Hello();
        long myval = 4;
        long longVal = t.GetValue(myval);
        Console.WriteLine(longVal);
    }

    private long GetValue(long v)
    {
        return v;
    }

}

Does not fail.


Any idea?


Thanks,


pablo
