The recent updates to Vim to support 64-bit integers broke a plugin I was using that provides a vimscript implementation of a pseudorandom number generator, by sending it into a near-infinite loop.
The problem was that the plugin assumes 32-bit integers, so I "fixed" it with a bitwise and() in the internal logic with a 32-bit integer max value. But I'd rather just update to use 64-bit integers. I could hard-code maximums based on has(num64), but would it be useful in general to just make a v:max_number or something which would contain the maximum value for a Number variable? I'd rather use something built-in than hard-code it anywhere it's needed. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
