gen.codebox math issues
I have a codebox with this "formula"
out1 = 1874890000 * 10;
when I bang it I get 1569030816. So this smells like a 32-bit resolution problem.
When I replace the 10 with an inlet and supply the value of 10 from outside it works though.
out1 = 18748900000 * in1;
=> 18748900000
This doesn't change things btw
out1 = 1874890000.0 * 10.0;
=> 1569030816
It's some kind of internal optimization thing causing the compiler to pre-calculate static numbers like that as 32-bit numbers before runtime.
Instead, use 'History' to trick gen so it calculates at runtime as a 64-bit float:
History val(1874890000);
out1 = val * 10;This is why your 'in1' trick worked, too.
Thanks much, this worked.
Would be nice though if didn't have to worry about 32-bit cruft anymore...
