Date: Fri,  7 Jan 2005 17:36:17 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.BSI.4.58.0501071729460.10670@malasada.lava.net> (raw)

I have two variables, "a" and "b".  One comes from a symbol name
(ie: a = main), and the other comes from data returned from strace().
Normal stuff:

    print	shows
    -----------------------------
    a		0x800529a4
    b		0x800529a4
    whatis a	integer variable format X
    whatis b    integer variable format X
    a - b	0x00000000
    b - a	0x00000000

now weirdness:
    a == b	0
    a < b	0x00000001
    b < a	0x00000000
    a > b	0
    b > a	1

Whats going on here?  Signed vs. unsigned issues?

Tim N.
