create a computed property in a window:
self.i as Int64
set it to -1 at runtime
observe its value in the debugger, it will show as +4e9 rather than -1
if self.i is regular (non-computed) it shows correctly.
My test shows the same, albeit as detailed value of 4294967295 for -1. This is the code I use:
[code]// Doesn’t matter if it’s in App, in a window, in a class or in a module
Property mIvar As Int64
Property ivar As Int64
Get
Return mIvar
End Get
Set
mIvar = value
End Set
End
Sub Open()
Self.ivar = -1
BREAK ’ Self.ivar shows as 4294967295 in the debugger, Self.mIvar as -1
Dim value As Int64 = Self.ivar
BREAK ’ value is -1
Self.ivar = -2
BREAK ’ Self.ivar shows as 4294967294 in the debugger, Self.mIvar as -2
’ and 4294967293 for -3, 4294967292 for -4, 4294967291 for -5, …
End Sub[/code]
I assume the debugger wrongly formats it as an UInt32 instead of an Int64. But my binary thinking capabilities are more than rusty, so I’m not sure.
