Windows error 0x7FFFFFFF, 2147483647

Performance difference between Windows and Linux using Intel compiler: looking at the assembly

I am running a program on both Windows and Linux (x86-64). It has been compiled with the same compiler (Intel Parallel Studio XE 2017) with the same options, and the Windows version is 3 times faster than the Linux one. The culprit is a call to std::erf which is resolved [...] read more

Efficient integer floor function in C++

I want to define an efficient integer floor function, i.e. a conversion from float or double that performs truncation towards minus infinity. We can assume that the values are such that no integer overflow occurs. So far I have a few options * casting to int; this requires special handling [...] read more

Why is Int32's maximum value 0x7FFFFFFF?

I saw in MSDN documents that the maximum value of Int32 is 2,147,483,647, hexadecimal 0x7FFFFFFF. I think, if it's Int32 it should store 32-bit integer values that finally should be 4,294,967,295 and hexadecimal 0xFFFFFFFF. My question is why Int32 stores 31-bit integer values? read more

C macro to create a bit mask -- possible? And have I found a GCC bug?

I am somewhat curious about creating a macro to generate a bit mask for a device register, up to 64bits. Such that BIT_MASK(31) produces 0xffffffff. However, several C examples do not work as thought, as I get 0x7fffffff instead. It is as-if the compiler is assuming I want signed output, [...] read more

Java Integer.MAX_VALUE vs Kotlin Int.MAX_VALUE

I noticed, one interesting thing. Java's Integer.MAX_VALUE is 0x7fffffff (2147483647) Kotlin's Int.MAX_VALUE is 2147483647 but if you write in Java: int value = 0xFFFFFFFF; //everything is fine (but printed value is '-1') in Kotlin: val value: Int = 0xFFFFFFFF //You get exception The integer literal does not conform to the [...] read more

"Anomaly" in signed integer in C

I'm currently writing a lecture on ARM optimization, specifically on vector machines such as NEON as the final target.

Getting memory location of C++ static variable in Visual Studio Community Debugger

In this simple C++ program: int main() { int n = 0xffffff12; static int q = 0x7fffffff; static int r = 0x10000000; static int R = 0x80000000; return 0; } I can retrieve the actual memory location of variable n in Visual Studio Community debugger by looking at the assembly [...] read more

Manual vectorization/SSE for a complex problem in C++

I want to speed up my algorithm which is an objective function f(x). The problem dimension is 5000. I have already introduced a lot of improvement in the code, but still the calculation time does not fit to my expectation. Most of the dataset are allocated dynamically as (float*)_mm_malloc(N_h*sizeof(float),16). In [...] read more

How to not calculate the hashcode each time value is inserted

I have implemented my own hashmap for study purposes. The key has a string and the value has an object of the class I created. By the way, I want to know if my hashcode method is appropriate, and how to not calculate the hashcode every time a value is [...] read more

How could I optimise this for loop to run fast on PHP. Runs extremely fast on javascript

So I've been porting some code from Javascript to PHP which works now, however, the execution time is very poor. It takes about 26 seconds in PHP whereas in javascript it is extremely fast. I've been able to break it down to the for loop causing the issue. This is [...] read more

type in vhdl corresponds to c-language: "uint32_t" or "unsigned long"

What's the closet data type in VHDL to the classic c-language data type "uint32_t", example: #include "stdint.h" void main() { uint32_t data = 0xFFFFFFFF; } From my understanding, VHDL's "positive" and "natural" types are just subsets of a signed "integer" type and are missing half of the range of c-langauge [...] read more

Work on an array of signed int as if it contained unsigned values

I've inherited some old code that assumes that an int can store values from -231 to 2^31-1, that overflow just wraps around, and that the sign bit is the high-order bit. In other words, that code should have used uint32_t, except that it wasn't. I would like to fix this [...] read more

Limit to size of array type, while there's not yet an instance

I have the following minimal test program: struct Test { double contents [1000000000]; }; int main () { return 0; } It refuses to compile, even though the compiler cannot know wether I will instantiate Test statically, on the stack or on the heap. Why does the compiler complain? Are [...] read more

How to declare a vector of data

I'm doing an Assembly program in ArmV8 that uses multiple constants (in floating point) that are therefore multiplied by the a certain value (also in floating point). For that, I want to develop a loop that just went trought a vector that contained the constants, incrementing the address each time [...] read more

How can I add my treat node in multiple places throughout the game?

Using AND instruction with 32-bit operand in 64-bit

I have a question on the AND instruction in 64-bit mode. I have this manual telling me that the AND 32-bit immediate is to be sign-extended to 64-bit. But I can't do this and rax,0x80000000 Which is ridiculous I think because 0x800000 is a perfect DWORD operand. The highest I [...] read more

Why do C compilers not warn when assigning integer value too high for signed type?

(assuming 64bit machine) e.g. int n = 0xFFFFFFFF; //max 32bit unsigned number printf("%u\n", n); The maximum positive number that a regular signed integer (32bit) can store is 0x7FFFFFFF. In the above example I'm assigning the maximum unsigned integer value to a regular signed integer, I'm receiving no warnings or error [...] read more

How does the _mm_cmpgt_epi64 intrinsic work

I'm using the _mm_cmpgt_epi64 intrinsic to implement a 128-bit addition, and later a 256-bit one. Looking at the result of this intrinsic something puzzles me. I don't understand why the computed mask is the way it is. const __m128i mask = _mm_cmpgt_epi64(bflip, sumflip); And here's the output in my debugger: [...] read more

Why does toHexString have variable length?

Why is it that toHexString prints different strings in what appears to be very specific circumstances? Printing a number below 0x80000000 works just fine. Adding 1 to that value and printing it works fine. But assigning that value directly does not print the same thing, instead I have to add [...] read more
