 Operating System: Linux Fedora 8
 PHP Version:      5.3.0
 New Comment:

Ok, I tried that exact code even though results must be same.
That worked on 4.2.2.
That did not work on 5.2.4.
I will download the latest I can find for Fedora 8.
If I can't test 5.3.0, I will get latest Fedora and try again.
Get back to you as soon as I can.

I couldn't find that apparent fix on you lists? Do you know of a fix
that you made? One difference I noted between those 2 versions is that
printf() rounds differently. It now rounds with half-even logic instead
of half-up rounding. Also, it is more in-line with all other languages
now in that your old %5.2f use to mean 5 before, 2 after instead of the
expected (and your now current impl of) 5 is width, with 2 decimal
places after decimal. This good guys, but I couldn't find a note about
this fix. Fortunately my tests picked this up right away.

half-up:   1<-->-->2<-->-->3  (1.5, 2.5 -> always up to 2 and 3)
half-even: 1<-->-->2<--<-->3  (1.5, 2.5 -> even of 2 and 3 -> 2 for
both)

C/C++ on linux uses half-even so you are in-line with C/C++ now. You
must have had some custom printf() thing before.

My point is that you made several changes to some major module? Or is
this related in someway to a new GCC?

Ok, I'll upgrade in steps (first to php5 latest for Fed 8) and then
make another HD with latest Fedora just to confirm what fixes the
issue.

Works for me in 5.3.0

<?php
$n = 2147483647;
$n = (int) ($n + 1);
var_dump($n);
$n = (int) ($n - 1);
var_dump($n);
?>

Produces
int(-2147483648)
int(2147483647)

Exactly what version produces correct result (in your opinion) and
_exactly_ what version does not?

Description:
------------
Old version are correct.
Eg 4.2.2 is exhibiting correct integer behavior.
Wrapping issue. All tests on 40 other languages pass according to this
simple test:

Ver 4.2.2

$n = 2147483647;
$n = (int) ($n + 1)
 -> -2147483648 (+wrap, correct)
$n = (int) ($n - 1)
 -> 2147483647 (-wrap, correct)

(C/C++/C#/.../assembly inc,dec/perl(int mode)/python/so on follow
this logic)

Ver 5.2.4

$n = 2147483647;
$n = (int) ($n + 1)
 -> -2147483648 (+wrap, correct)
$n = (int) ($n - 1)
 -> -2147483648 (-max, wrong)

(no other language follow this. Some languages do use +/-max but not
this mix of wrap one way and max the other)

Suggest: back to original +/- wrapping.

Your newer versions are wrong.
You wrap going positive around the integer wheel.
You don't wrap going negative around the integer wheel.
One direction you wrap, the other direction you do a max.

I test all languages and this is incorrect integer behavior.
Your original logic was correct but now broken and affects all
original source code.

Related issue by someone else: 
#30315. Got closed but core issue misunderstood.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Sorry, didn't see these boxes. See above.

Your version is irrelavent here as I am talking about a change from old
to new versionS. New ones don't work. (I could not select irrelavent so
just chose one on list - but that's not the point).
