Signedness bug in eval

[Peter Clifton]

Please CC me when replying.


Seems like this change broke things...

http://cvs.sv.gnu.org/viewvc/m4/m4/src/eval.c?r1=1.1.1.1.2.7&r2=1.1.1.1.2.8&pathrev=release-1_4_9

Eric, I "think" its yours, but if not, please accept my appologies for
adding you directly to the CC.

Specifically, a colleague who's been helping me debug this verifies that
reverting the change on line 714 fixes the observed bug.

-*v1 = (int32_t) ((uint32_t) *v1 / (uint32_t) v2);
+*v1 = *v1 / v2;

(BTW: I'm on a plain bog standard Intel 32 bit platform).


PS: It seems IMPERITIVE that this fix gets into the distos which ship
1.4.9 ASAP!
