Summary | date! value not correctly passed to extension |
---|---|
Description | I have written an extension with a command which does nothing but return the value it is passed, as an integer. This should allow me to verify some of the bit-level encodings that to-binary will not show me. It works for pair!, time!, tuple!. When I pass it a date! value the result is 0 (zero) for a date literal or evaluated word, and an arbitrary number (not reproducible) for a function result like NOW/DATE. |
Example code |
(init-block) REBOL [ title: {Caster extension} name: caster type: extension exports: [int-cast] ] int-cast: command [{Cast any value to integer} v] (RX_Call) RXIEXT int RX_Call(int cmd, RXIFRM *frm) { RXA_TYPE(frm,1) = RXT_INTEGER; return RXR_VALUE; } (application) >>probe to-binary int-cast now/date == ;; arbitrary number |

Sorry, you must wait until it's been defined. Pending. |

Strange... The documentation says it is usable! Moreover, when I pass a date value inside a block, it works perfectly! That is how I discovered the encoding: 2 bits free, 14 bits year, 4 bits month, 5 bits day, 7 bits time zone (adds up to 32). |
