Re: [Fractdev] shift by negative bits

Rich,

in unix/fpu087.c, RegSftFloat:

long RegSftFloat(x, Shift) long x; int Shift; { float f; f = em2float(x); if (Shift>0) { f *= (1<<Shift); } else { f /= (1<<Shift); } return float2em(f); }

When Shift is negative, it divides by 1 left-shifted by a negative number of bits. Shouldn't this be 1 << -Shift instead?

You are correct. I didn't find any place where this routine is called. Jonathan
