System name: soup
Type and version: RT 7.1
What were you trying to do?
assign an unsigned int (value 0x80000000) to float
What's wrong:
the float value comes out negative.
What should have happened:
the float should be positive
To duplicate:
compile and run the following code on an RT.
the final printf will print out a negative number.
**********************************************************
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
unsigned int i,k;
double a;
i=2;
do {
k=i;
i<<=1;
printf("%u %u \n",k,i);
} while (i);
a = k ;
printf("%f \n",a);
}
