Hello,
I love newLISP and I'm trying to use it for some graphics programming. So I'm writing a FFI module for the raylib library.
I've encountered an odd behavior of struct: If I define a 'struct' with one or more floats and pass it to 'pack', the float values are stored as zeroes. But surprisingly the same struct works well with 'unpack'. Here is an example:
(struct 'Vector2 "float" "float")
(pack Vector2 200 200) => returns "\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000", which is wrong!
(pack "ff" 200 200) => returns "\000\000HC\000\000HC", which is what 'pack Vector2...' also should return
(unpack Vector2 (pack "ff" 200 200)) => returns (200 200) correctly!
I'm using newLISP 10.7.5 64-bit on Arch Linux with ffi and UTF-8 support enabled.
Is there a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
Alfonso
Bug in struct with float arguments?

Re: Bug in struct with float arguments?
Yes it's a bug in the handling of the "incoming cell data" for an ffi_type_float at nl-import.c:814.
That current line is
and should be replaced with the following
which corresponds to how it's handled in the pack function.
That current line is
Code: Select all
floatV = (float) *(double *)&cell->aux;
Code: Select all
floatV = (float) ((cell->type == CELL_FLOAT)? *(double *)&uint64V : uint64V);
Re: Bug in struct with float arguments?
I've changed that line and recompiled. Bug solved! Thank you very much!
