Xojo Math badly broken: 32bit problems in a 64bit environment

For a forthcoming article in xDev I had to use the Mod function and came across an interesting problem: From the Xojo documentation: result = number1 Mod number2 The Mod operator divides number1 by number2 and returns the remainder as result. If either number1 or number2 is a floating-point type, it is first coerced to Int32. If either number1 or number2 is an Int64, then both values are promoted to Int64. What happens with result = doubleValue mod intValue? result and intValue are Intege…

Was a huge commotion a few months back.

I went into more detail in my xDev article, and yes, also stated that it cannot be that you get different results on your Mac at home and your PC at work. Especially as you can use 64bit integers in 32bit Windows.
