The read32u macro in the attached file yields an int, not an unsigned int, because (unsigned char) promotes to (signed int). If I change "long" to "long long" in the attached file and compile with gcc on x86 the program prints "Bug". This is your macro definition: #define read32u() \ (src += 4, \ (src[-4] << 24) + (src[-3] << 16) + (src[-2] << 8) + src[-1]) Try adding a cast: #define read32u() \ (src += 4, \ (unsigned int)((src[-4] << 24) + (src[-3] << 16) + (src[-2] << 8) + src[-1])) ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
