Problem with Hex() after updating to 3.3.8

[tomaskir]

Hey guys,

Having a bit of a problem after updating to 3.3.8.0. Here is a reproducer:

Local $base_address = "0x03820040"

Local $Clock_address = "0x" & Hex($base_address + 0x4)

MsgBox(0, "", "$base_address is " & Hex($base_address) & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
"$Clock_address is " & $Clock_address)

With 3.3.6.1 this returns:

$base_address is 03820040


$Clock_address is 0x03820044

With 3.3.8.0 this returns:

$base_address is 03820040


$Clock_address is 0x418C100220000000

I read through the change log and looked at changes to Hex(), but as far as I can see, none of them should break the script above.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance,

tom

you need to specific the wanted length, usually 8 bytes.

Local $base_address = 0x03820040
Local $Clock_address = "0x" & Hex($base_address + 0x4, 8)
MsgBox(0, "", "$base_address is " & Hex($base_address, 8) & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
"$Clock_address is " & $Clock_address)

Doesnt work if

$base_address = "0x03820040"

Thats the main issue, $base_address in my case is a string.

ahh, you add a number to a string and get a double. Convert it to an integer.

Local $base_address = "0x03820040"
Local $Clock_address = "0x" & Hex(Int($base_address + 0x4), 8)
MsgBox(0, "", "$base_address is " & Hex($base_address, 8) & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
"$Clock_address is " & $Clock_address)

Works

Thanks a lot!
