User [EMAIL PROTECTED] added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=417833#c6 --- Comment #6 from Scott Peterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-08-22 20:04:13 MDT --- Yes, the .NET implementation is also buggy. Given the following code: using System; using System.Collections.Specialized; public class BitVector32Test { public static void Main() { var s1 = BitVector32.CreateSection(32767); var s2 = BitVector32.CreateSection(32767, s1); var s3 = BitVector32.CreateSection(4, s2); var bv = new BitVector32(0); bv[s3] = 4; Console.WriteLine(bv[s3]); } } The expected output is '4' but the actual output on .NET (and Mono, currently) is '0'. It takes 15 bits to store the number 32767 and three bits to store the number 4. Two 15-bit sections and one 3-bit section totals 33 bits. That's obviously not going to fit in a BitVector32. As for duplicating the .NET bug for compatibility, I don't know what the standard protocol is for these sorts of things, but I imagine that fixing this bug can't do any harm: there should not be any code which depends on this bug since any code which encounters this bug is vulnerable to a logical error and should be fixed, and the workaround is just to use sections whose sum total length is <= 32. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
