#49974 [Asn]: Windows x64 build lacks proper suport for 64-bit signed long

ID: 49974 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: admin at saltwaterc dot net Status: Assigned Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows x64, irrelevant version PHP Version: 5.2.11 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: Also given that PHP_INT_MAX is 2147483647, having 3147483647 being stored as a float is perfectly valid. Try to confirm: > php -r "echo PHP_INT_MAX;" 2147483647 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-23 19:09:23] pajoye@php.net #49492 was a complete bogus report, not sure why you even mention it here as it is unrelated. To clear some points before going further: - 5.2 has no x64 support on windows and will never have x64 support. - We use only VC9 for the x64 builds, with the SDK 6.1 About your reproduce code. Have you tried it on linux 64bit? I don't see a different behavior between linux and windows using 5.3. That's expected. It is also important to notice that 3147483647 is higher than 2^32 -1, which is the limit of the PHP integer. All in all I don's see that as a windows specific problem but about supporting large integers in a consistent manner. Given that we have it in our roadmap for future PHP versions, I will likely close this issue, once I have run some more tests. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-23 16:20:25] admin at saltwaterc dot net Description: ------------ The Windows x64 build of PHP has an issue with the integer data type. It may have issues with floating point numbers, but I didn't test it. The integer bugs me since I work with large integers as column primary keys in databases. I can't check for overflows with is_int() either (obvious). Runtime: - 3rd party PHP 5.2.5 x64 build - 3rd party PHP 5.2.8 x64 build - my own PHP 5.2.11 x64 builds - official snapshot PHP 5.3.1RC1 (used below) - so the issue is in both of the 5.2.x and 5.3.x branches Compiler - MSVC++ 8.0 Express - MSVC++ 9.0 Express Windows SDK: - 6.1a - 7.0 Since there were various versions built with various compilers and Windwows SDKs, I tend to believe that this is a PHP build system related issue, rather than an issue with that MSVC++ stuff. PS: at the moment this x64 issue is a development problem as the code goes into production on *nix machines with proper 64-bit support. Please don't tell me the same story from report #49492. Yes, Apache doesn't provide official x64 builds, but it is supported, thus 64-bit development is possible. Try it yourself: http://www.anindya.com/apache-http-server-2-2-14-x86-x64-msi-installers/ Reproduce code: --------------- <?php // long.php function assert_handler($file, $line, $code) { echo "Assertion Failed: File '$file' Line '$line' Code '$code'"; } assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE, 1); assert_options(ASSERT_WARNING, 0); assert_options(ASSERT_QUIET_EVAL, 1); assert_options(ASSERT_CALLBACK, 'assert_handler'); assert(is_int(3147483647) === TRUE); Expected result: ---------------- Nothing! Actual result: -------------- C:\Users\Saltwater\Desktop>php-5.3.1RC1-Win32-VC9-x64\php.exe long.php Assertion Failed: File 'C:\Users\Saltwater\Desktop\long.php' Line '13' Code '' C:\Users\Saltwater\Desktop> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49974&edit=1
