Re: lua_pushinteger - value stored in the Lua stack differs from passed to function

[Paulo Roberto <betobrandao@...>]

I just tried to use string.format instead of using the operator .. and it worked fine.

The new Lua code:

if (lua_type == 'transaction') then
  shiftno = tran.getshiftno()
  dev.log(string.format('ShiftNumber: %d' , shiftno))
  tran.print(string.format('ShiftNumber: %d' , shiftno))
end

The question is: why the operator .. does not work on this platform and works on Linux and others platforms I have here.

The Lua source code used to build the libraries were the same.

Thank you again.

Regards.

Hello,

I'm getting a strange behavior using the functions lua_pushinteger and lua_pushunsigned.

When calling these functions, the value stored in the Lua stack L is not the value passed to the function (an integer), actually It is a small float number.

It seems there is some sort of error converting values as all Lua numbers are stored as double numbers.

For example, passing the value 37, the Lua layer receives 5.3265215697135e-315

I'm using lua 5.2, gcc 4.3.4, building for ARM processors, 32 bits words.
I'm passing the compile flag LUA_COMPAT_ALL and LUA_ANSI

The code I'm using is something like this:

int GetShiftNumber(lua_State *L) 
{
  lua_pushinteger(L, gsConfig.ShiftNumber);
#ifdef RUNLOG2
  sprintf(NurLogBuf, "GetShiftNumber: shiftno = %lu", gsConfig.ShiftNumber);
  Log2(NurLogBuf);
#endif
  return(1);
}

The Log2 just logs the values on the RS232 port.

The Lua code that invokes the C code above is:

if (lua_type == 'transaction') then
  shiftno = tran.getshiftno()
  dev.log('ShiftNumber: ' .. shiftno)
  tran.print('ShiftNumber: ' .. shiftno)
end

The tran.getshiftno is the corresponding Lua function for the above GetShiftNumber.

The dev.log function just invokes the C Log2 function.

On the C layer, the variables are correct displayed:

GetShiftNumber: shiftno = 37

On the Lua layer, the shiftno is incorrect, dev.log displays:

ShiftNumber 5.3265215697135e-315

The gsConfig is a global structure and the field gsConfig.ShiftNumber is an unsigned long.

I also tried to use the lua_pushunsigned and got the same result.

Then I created a local int variable, did and explicit cast and passed the local variable to lua_pushinteger but nothing changed.

Passing values from Lua layer to C layer works fine.

The same code, works fine in other platforms.

Could you help me to find a solution for this issue?

Thank you in advance.
