make[5]: *** [sdotest.o] Error 1
On line 1135, in the following statement:
dor->setLong("long", 0xFFFFFFFFFFFF);
the constant is too big for a long. Same problem on lines 2569 and 2575.
I suggest adding an import <limits.h> and using LONG_MAX to be more
portable.
I think there may be more to it. Looking at the block of code that contains
1135 we can see
dor->setByte("byte",20);
dor->setCharacter("character", 1000);
dor->setShort("short", (short)12345678);
dor->setInteger("integer", 87654321);
dor->setLong("long", 0xFFFFFFFFFFFF);
dor->setFloat("float", (float)12345.678);
dor->setDouble("double", 1234567.891);
Most of these are not boundary cases, so I wonder if the setting of "long"
was expected to fit in 64 bits or maybe it is supposed to trigger a runtime
overflow error as part of the test. Anyway, I'll look into it. As a minimum
I'll raise a JIRA and make the change you suggest to fix the build error.

Geoff.
