How to read a signed integer from ByteArray

[meodemsao]

Hi all,

I have problem while reading a signed integer from server. In the SFS2X C++, the function "boost::shared_ptr <ByteArray> btrd->ReadInt" is always return a positive value.

Hope everyone to help for me to solve this problem

Thank in advanced!

Hello,
I was able to reproduce the problem. There seem to be an issue with type conversion.
We're working on releasing a patch soon.

Stay tuned.

After some testcase, the function ReadInt only has problem with 64-bit arch. In the 32-bit arch, it's work well

Yes, it's due to the variability of type sizes such as int / long int etc... which on 32bit platforms use 4 bytes and on 64bit systems use 8 bytes.

I'll report back when it's fixed.

UPDATE:
we have fixed the problem and should be able to publish a new update on Monday (tomorrow is national holiday over here).

I will post the link here when it's online.
Cheers
