wraithdu Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Considering the discussion a few weeks ago about BitShift being a *signed* shift in AutoIt, shouldn't the _WinAPI_HiWord function, and indeed all UDF functions where a DWORD needs to be split into hi and lo words by any means (the _WinAPI_HiWord function or manually via BitShift), be changed accordingly: Func _WinAPI_HiWord($iLong) Return BitAND(BitShift($iLong, 16), 0xFFFF) EndFunc ;==>_WinAPI_HiWord While an error likely won't occur very often, this is the only way to assure we are getting the correct hi word result, unless AutoIt changes the way it does BitShift to be unsigned.

Zedna Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I think this is wrong place to post that. It would be better to make ticket for it on the Trac. Resources UDF ResourcesEx UDF AutoIt Forum Search
wraithdu Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 I wanted to get some opinions first... seems no one really cares. I'll create a ticket and leave it up to the devs.
jchd Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I wanted to get some opinions first... seems no one really cares. I'll create a ticket and leave it up to the devs.There is a ticket already open for that and similar 32-64 bit issues. Valik has already discussed that. A recent beta/release has brought integral Mod() -- instead of approximate floating point operation. So things are already underway. As I understand it, a complete rewamp of all these aspects involves significant work and may need more time. I just wanted to fill a little gap in the interim.

wraithdu Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Well, but this is an interim change to the winapi UDF... not sure if they will want to make that change until the AutoIt internal changes are finished or not. I think they should, but it's up to them.
Valik Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I am not a fan of temporary changes. If we know something isn't a final change going into it, what's the point deviating from the current behavior when it's all going to change again?
wraithdu Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Ack. You can delete my feature request ticket then. Wish I'd seen your reply 10 minutes ago...
