bug#16535: Compiler bug ?

[Fabrice Popineau]

Actually, afaik BITS_PER_ULL == BITS_PER_BITS_WORD

Starting program: C:\source\Gnu\emacs\mingw\src/emacs.exe -Q

[New Thread 25544.0x113f4]

Breakpoint 3, main (argc=2, argv=0xc04880) at emacs.c:702

702     {

(gdb) p /d BITS_PER_ULL

$1 = 64

(gdb) p /d BITS_PER_BITS_WORD

$2 = 64

$ grep HAVE_UNSIGNED config.h

#define HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT 1

I was at bzr116143.

With your change, all the bit vector related the tests pass.

Thanks,

Fabrice

There's an obvious bug there: a negated-comparison typo, which I fixed in trunk bzr 116147.

This raises another point. The bug was triggered because BITS_PER_ULL < BITS_PER_BITS_WORD. The former should be the number of bits in 'unsigned long long' (or 'unsigned long' on platforms that lack that), the latter the number of bits in 'size_t'. I don't know of any platform where the former is less than the latter, so I worry that there's a misconfiguration problem here, which might cause some other subtle bugs on your platform. Can you please give more details about your platform, and how you built Emacs, and the values of BITS_PER_BITS_WORD, HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT, BITS_PER_ULL, BITS_WORD_MAX, and ULL_MAX on your platform? GDB should be able to tell you those values. Thanks.
