Please test this code:


EXTERN "Limites.wl"
info(MAX_BOUND_UNSIGNED_INT_8)


Result is: 9223372036854775807 but in "Limites.wl" is 18446744073709551615

Why ?

Thanks !

Hi Igor...

I'm not sure, but it looks like half the original value, so I'm guessing the following:

- info is supposed to display strings
- you are passing a numeric value to the function, so an automatic conversion is done
- the automatic conversion has to choose a variable type to convert from and chooses a SIGNED value...

In that case, the original encoding matches the max POSITIVE value of an int

Best regards
