[Bug-GnuCOBOL] testsuite 583. MF FIGURATIVE to NUMERIC (run_misc.at:5918): FAILED

[Jim Rinn]

Test 583 fails the move all * and move all “21” to bigflt tests.

 

Could this be an endian issue with the expected value because the hex dump of the bigflt value vs the expected value is byte reversed.

 

Created a small C program to plug in the expected and actual values.

 

 

int main(void)

{

   union {

      float x;

      long  y;

   };

 

   printf("Size of x: %d  y: %d\n",sizeof(x), sizeof(y));

   y=0x7d7f54e5;

   printf("x: %e  %8x \n",x,y);

   y=0xe5547f7d;

   printf("x: %e  %8x \n",x,y);

 

   return 0;

}

 

Size of x: 4  y: 4

x: 2.121212e+37  7d7f54e5

x: -6.271834e+22  e5547f7d
