Hi John,<div><br></div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;here&#39;s the fix for signed32BitValueOf:</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 11:15 PM, John M McIntosh <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:johnmci@smalltalkconsulting.com">johnmci@smalltalkconsulting.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I noted the the current VMs don&#39;t handle the case of storing −2,147,483,648 (primitive failure) via &nbsp;signed32BitValueOf: &nbsp;usually called via FFI &nbsp;signedLongAt:put:<br>

<br>
For plugin writers who used signed64BitValueOf: (primitive failure) and &nbsp; signed64BitIntegerFor: &nbsp;returned &nbsp;zero if passed −9,223,372,036,854,775,808.<br>
signed64BitIntegerFor: is the one that is nasty since your value of 0x8000000000000000 &nbsp;silently turns in 0.<br>
<br>
I reopened problem <a href="http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6987" target="_blank">http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6987</a> and wrote some SUnits.<br>
<br>
I also provided a suggested fix, which allows me to run the SUnits.<br>
<br>
Lastly for Alien I added long long (signed/unsigned) support which is still missing in the FFI plugin so I could do some testing.<br><font color="#888888">
