How can I force it to work correct on perl based 64 ?

It gets very messy.

Effectively you have to mask the resultant from operation after any operation that might cause the resultant to be promoted to more than 32 bits. eg.

C:\test>\perl32\bin\perl -le"print 11 | 29 | ~15" 4294967295 C:\test>\perl64\bin\perl -le"print 11 | 29 | ~15" 18446744073709551615 C:\test>\perl64\bin\perl -le"print 11 | 29 | ( ~15 & 0xffffffff )" 4294967295

And if you are manipulating signed rather than unsigned values it gets really tiresome.

I don't know of a good solution to this problem.


With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
