   Direct3D is probably changing the FPU mode to single-precision under
your feet. There's an initialization flag you can pass to D3D on
creation which will avoid this.

I get 268435456, 268435457, and 268435458.  My first guess
is that you're using (single-precision) floats instead of
doubles.  What platform are you on?  Did you change
LUA_NUMBER when compiling?

http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html

This is on Win32 (Lua is part of our game engine).  We did not
modify
LUA_NUMBER.  It's still double.
Lua is compiled as a static lib via Visual C++ 6.0.  The app is
compiled via Visual Studio 2005.

Ok, this is really weird...

The following C code has the same problem (while watching "d" in the
debugger in Visual C++ 6.0):

double d = 0x10000000;

d = d + 0x00000002;

doubles are supposed to be able to completely represent  a 32bit int
right?

I had heard you guys talk about this D3D9 issue before, but for some reason, I thought it would not affect me.

So, I added D3DCREATE_FPU_PRESERVE, and that solved the problem.

Thanks, everyone.
