Description Oskari Saarenmaa 2004-12-21 20:21:22 UTC
Description of problem:
When rolling new rpms for fc1 based on the current rpms in fc3 I
noticed that a change from php5 had been backported to php4 that
breaks backwards compatibility with regard to converting floats to
integers.

While I understand that the previous behaviour was undefined, it
worked for quite a few different purposes, and with this change I
don't see any obvious way to fix existing scripts.

PHP bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30701 has some more information
and links to other related bugs in the php bug system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
php-4.3.9-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo '<?php var_dump((int)0xffffffff) ?>' | php -q

Actual Results:  int(2147483647)

Expected Results:  int(-1)

Note that the results of the above are different on the two platforms
 supported by FC3.  But maybe we should revert this in FC3 too.

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2005-04-19 07:51:54 UTC
Fixed in 4.3.11 update, thanks for the report:
