Thread: Unwanted cropping occuring

I don't understand why this:

Code:

void printb( void const * addr, size_t const bits ) {
	size_t size = bits / CHAR_BIT, b = 0;
	uchar const *a = addr;
	uchar val;
	if ( bits % CHAR_BIT ) ++size;
	while ( size-- ) {
		for ( val = a[size]; val; val <<= 1, ++b ) {
			if ( b == bits ) return;
			putchar( '0' + !!(val & SCHAR_MIN) );
		}
	}
}
...
		putchar('\n');
		num = test.man;
		printb( &num, FPN_MAN_BIT );
		putchar('\n');
		num = mine.man;
		printb( &num, FPN_MAN_BIT );
		putchar('\n');

is giving me this:

Code:

gcc -Wall -o "test_fpn" "test_fpn.c" && "./test_fpn"
...
same = 0
001
01
test.man = 0000000200000 mine.man = 0000000400000 exp t = 082 m = 081 sig t = 0 m = 0 fpn t = 1.000000e+01 m = 6.000000e+00 value '1e+1'

Don't mind the mantissa itself, I was trying to see what was the results of various attempts, gotta leave for work soon so would like to fix this particular issue before I do.

Edit: Never mind, figured it out, I forgot I needed to set the break condition as a seperate variable, I declared a new variable "bit" and just reset to 1 on each start of the loop and shifted it just like num but instead of testing if num was empty tested if bit was empty.
