Subject: [boost] Crazy Borland/Codegear long long behaviour?
From: John Maddock (john_at_[hidden])

I'm having a load of trouble getting Boost.Integer to play nice with the
Borland/Codegear compilers, for example given:
void print_val(long long l)
{
std::cout << std::hex << static_cast<int>((l & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000LL) >>
32);
std::cout << std::hex << static_cast<int>((l & 0xFFFFFFFFLL)) <<
std::endl;
}
And then:
static const long long MaxValue = SCHAR_MAX;
static const long long sll = _LLONG_MAX;
const long long cll = _LLONG_MAX;
long long ll = _LLONG_MAX;
BOOST_TEST(MaxValue <=
::boost::integer_traits<boost::long_long_type>::const_max); // fails
BOOST_TEST(MaxValue <= _LLONG_MAX); // passes
BOOST_TEST(MaxValue <= sll); //fails
BOOST_TEST(MaxValue <= cll); // fails
BOOST_TEST(MaxValue <= ll); // passes
print_val(_LLONG_MAX); // OK prints 7fffffffffffffff
print_val(ll); // OK prints 7fffffffffffffff
print_val(sll); // Oh no, prints ffffffffffffffff
print_val(cll); // Oh no, prints ffffffffffffffff
So as soon as a long long is declared const (whether static or not) it seems
to be incapable of actually holding a sensible value!!
Anyone got any ideas what's going on or any workarounds?
Thanks, John.
PS I'm still using Borland-5.8.2, but judging by the test matrix results the
latest versions have similar issues.
