Re: Bug in Lua when using signed long

["GrayFace" <sergroj@...>]

It's not a bug, it's natural. lua_Number as "double" is 64 bits long, part 
of which is exponent. Redefine lua_Number as "long double" if you want it to 
hold 64-bits integers. AFAIR, you'll also have to redifine another constant 
together with lua_Number.

Subject: Bug in Lua when using signed long


On macosx x64 where long is eight bytes and lua_Integer is defined as 
ptrdiff_t which is also eight bytes long, the following fails:
       signed long input((std::numeric_limits<signed long >::max)());
       lua_pushinteger(L, input );
       signed long result = ( lua_tointeger( L, -1) );
       CPPUNIT_ASSERT_EQUAL(input, result);

- Expected: 9223372036854775807
- Actual  : -9223372036854775808
