As Thomas Dickey above says mawk 1.3.4 at least allows unsigned int values up to 4294967295.
Is there any reason the standard mawk package is stuck at 1.3.3? I have been using a compiled version of 1.3.4 and not only does it extend the range of unsigned ints but it also contains a number of bug fixes and executes about 30% faster on average. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159933 Title: mawk %d maxes out at 0x7FFFFFFF instead of 0xFFFFFFFF To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mawk/+bug/1159933/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
