    I can't spot my mistake...

    I'll start with the output
    Code:
    make rebuild
    MAKECMDGOALS=rebuild
    make -f main.mak rebuild
    make[1]: Entering directory '~/alu'
    PRJ_SRC_FILES = 'test.c alu_bit.c alu_main.c alu_math.c alu_mem.c alu_vec.c'
    rm -f *.AppImage *.exe *.so *.dll *.o *.obj
    cc -fPIC -shared -Wall -Wextra -I cloned/fbstdc/include  -o test.o -c test.c
    make[1]: Leaving directory '~/alu'
    fatal: not in a git directory
    In file included from test.c:1:
    alu.h:12:10: fatal error: allstdint.h: No such file or directory
       12 | #include <allstdint.h>
          |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
    compilation terminated.
    make[1]: *** [main.mak:98: test.o] Error 1
    make: *** [1st.mak:6: rebuild] Error 2
    Compilation failed.
    I've checked and the files were certainly downloaded and saved to the right place, I'm guessing I'm using the -I flag wrong maybe? If you need more just tell me what you're looking for and I'll post it

    Never mind, just spotted my mistake, I had renamed the files but forgot to change it in code

    Made another mistake that I can't identify, this seemed an appropriate thread to tack it onto instead of creating another thread.
    This:
    Code:
    $(info $(call rebase,$(FBSTDC_DIR)))
    $(shell $(call rebase,$(FBSTDC_DIR)))
    Lead to this:
    Code:
    cd 'cloned/fbstdc' && git config pull.rebase true && git pull
    main.mak:42: *** missing separator.  Stop.
    Any ideas what I did wrong there?

    You need a real tab instead of space
    Makefile:2: *** missing separator. Stop - Stack Overflow
    "without goto we would be wtf'd"

    By that I assume you mean when under a target, this is supposed to be executed BEFORE any targets, or am I mistaken? Here's a slightly larger snippet:
    Code:
    COMPILE_EXE=$(CC) $(BIN_FLAGS) $1 $(COP)o $2 $3 $(RPATH_FLAG)
    COMPILE_DLL=$(CC) $(LIB_FLAGS) $1 $(COP)o $2 $3 $(RPATH_FLAG)
    COMPILE_OBJ=$(CC) $(SRC_FLAGS) $1 $(COP)o $2 -c $3
    
    $(info PRJ_SRC_FILES = '$(PRJ_SRC_FILES)')
    
    $(call mkdir,$(PRJ_EXT_DIR))
    $(call github_clone,$(FBSTDC_DIR),$(PRJ_EXT_DIR),awsdert/fbstdc)
    $(info $(call rebase,$(FBSTDC_DIR)))
    $(shell $(call rebase,$(FBSTDC_DIR)))
    
    info: .FORCE

    I resolved it by putting an $(info) around the $(shell) part

    First, a link to the project:
    GitHub - awsdert/alu: Library modeled after the Arithmetic Logic Unit built into CPUs
    Now for the main part, I ran into an inconsistency between the results of multiplication, small numbers work fine but a larger number resulted in an empty value when the opposite should have been there, someone mind taking a look at alu_mul() (in alu_math.c) and seeing if they can find potential causes

    Edit: Occurred to me just after hitting post that I could've just posted the code also:
    Code:
    int alu_mul( alu_t *alu, int num, int val )
    {
    	bool carry = 0;
    	int ret = alu_check2( alu, num, val ), tmp = 0;
    	alu_reg_t *N, *V, *T;
    	alu_bit_t v = {0}, e;
    	size_t bits = 0;
    	
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    		return ret;
    	
    	ret = alu_get_reg( alu, &tmp, sizeof(size_t) );
    	
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    		return ret;
    	
    	N = alu->regv + num;
    	V = alu->regv + val;
    	T = alu->regv + tmp;
    
    	v = V->init;
    	e = N->upto;
    	
    	for ( ; v.b < e.b; v = alu_bit_inc( v ), ++bits )
    	{
    		if ( *(v.S) & v.B )
    		{
    			(void)alu__shl( alu, num, bits );
    			ret = alu_add( alu, tmp, num );
    			bits = 0;
    			
    			if ( ret == EOVERFLOW )
    				carry = true;
    			else if ( ret != 0 )
    				break;
    		}
    	}
    	
    	memcpy( N->part, T->part, alu->buff.perN );
    	alu_rem_reg( alu, tmp );
    	
    	return carry ? EOVERFLOW : 0;
    }

    Managed to narrow the problematic line but unable to figure out a fix, used a fix that is slower to resolve the output temporarily:
    Code:
    int alu_mul( alu_t *alu, int num, int val )
    {
    	bool carry = 0;
    	int ret = alu_check2( alu, num, val ), tmp = -1;
    	alu_reg_t *V;
    	alu_bit_t p, v = {0}, e;
    	size_t bits = 0;
    	
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    		return ret;
    	
    	ret = alu_get_reg( alu, &tmp, sizeof(size_t) );
    	
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    		return ret;
    	
    	V = alu->regv + val;
    	p = v = V->init;
    	e = V->upto;
    	
    	alu__or( alu, tmp, num );
    	alu_xor( alu, num, num );
    	
    	for ( ; v.b < e.b; v = alu_bit_inc( v ), ++bits )
    	{
    		if ( *(v.S) & v.B )
    		{
    			//(void)alu__shl( alu, tmp, bits );
    			ret = alu_add( alu, num, tmp );
    			bits = 0;
    			
    			if ( ret == EOVERFLOW )
    				carry = true;
    			else if ( ret == ENODATA )
    				break;
    			else if ( ret != 0 )
    			{
    				alu_error( ret );
    				break;
    			}
    		}
    		(void)alu__shl( alu, tmp, 1 );
    	}
    	
    	alu_rem_reg( alu, tmp );
    	
    	return carry ? EOVERFLOW : ret;
    }
    As you can see I commented out the problematic line, did some tests with the shift function and I don't think that was the cause, I believe maybe the value of bits is somehow incorrect, any ideas are welcome

    Found the cause, I forgot to check for the situation where the number of bits to move by was 0, after skipping the shift in that situation the erroneous output was resolved.

    Managed to fix it, apparently division does not like optimizations all that much:
    Code:
    int alu_divide( alu_t *alu, uint_t num, uint_t val, uint_t rem )
    {
    	int ret = alu_check3( alu, num, val, rem );
    	alu_reg_t *N, *V, *R, TR;
    	alu_bit_t n;
    	size_t bits = 0;
    	bool nNeg, vNeg;
    	
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    		return ret;
    		
    	N = alu->regv + num;
    	V = alu->regv + val;
    	R = alu->regv + rem;
    	
    	TR = *R;
    	
    	nNeg = ((N->info & ALU_REG_F__SIGN) && (*(N->last.S) & N->last.B));
    	vNeg = ((V->info & ALU_REG_F__SIGN) && (*(V->last.S) & V->last.B));
    	
    	if ( nNeg )
    		(void)alu_neg( alu, num );
    	
    	if ( vNeg )
    		(void)alu_neg( alu, val );
    	
    	(void)alu_xor( alu, rem, rem );
    	(void)alu__or( alu, rem, num );
    	(void)alu_xor( alu, num, num );
    
    	n = alu_end_bit( *R );
    	
    	for (
    		; alu_compare( TR, *V, NULL ) >= 0
    		; ++bits, n = alu_bit_dec(n)
    	)
    	{
    		R->init = n;
    		if ( alu_compare( *R, *V, NULL ) >= 0 )
    		{
    			ret = alu_sub( alu, rem, val );
    			
    			if ( ret == ENODATA )
    				break;
    			
    			(void)alu__shl( alu, num, bits );
    			*(N->init.S) |= N->init.B;
    			bits = 0;
    		}
    	}
    	
    	/* Clear return value while we're at it */
    	ret = alu__shl( alu, num, bits + 1 );
    	
    	*R = TR;
    	
    	if ( nNeg != vNeg )
    	{
    		(void)alu_neg( alu, num );
    		(void)alu_neg( alu, rem );
    	}
    	
    	if ( vNeg )
    		(void)alu_neg( alu, val );
    	
    	return ret;
    }
    Now I just have the problem of 1 result not being negated as expected:
    Code:
    test.c:565: int_modify() -3735929054 % -2989, Expected -1866, Got 1866, op = '%'

    Just had to adjust the method of re-negating

    Well just spotted the 1st mistake, used *V = c; instead of *V = b; in alu_str2reg(), started getting correct register value after that.
    alu_reg2str() however is not quite there, forgot to pass the final value of num to add the last digit, rectified now but still being cleared for some reason:
    Code:
    int alu_reg2str
    (
    	alu_t *alu,
    	void *dst,
    	uint_t src,
    	alu_func_wrChar32_t nextchar,
    	alu_func_flipstr_t flipstr,
    	size_t base,
    	bool lowercase
    )
    {
    	alu_reg_t *DIV, *VAL, *NUM;
    	int ret;
    	uint_t num = -1, div = -1, val = -1;
    	size_t *V, *N;
    	char *base_str = lowercase ?
    		ALU_BASE_STR_0toztoZ :
    		ALU_BASE_STR_0toZtoz;
    		
    	ret = alu_check1( alu, src );
    	
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    		return ret;
    	
    	if ( !val || !nextchar || !flipstr )
    		return EADDRNOTAVAIL;
    	
    	if ( base < 2 || base > strlen(base_str) )
    		return ERANGE;
    	
    	ret = alu_get_reg( alu, &num, sizeof(size_t) );
    		
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    		return ret;
    		
    	ret = alu_get_reg( alu, &val, sizeof(size_t) );
    		
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    	{
    		(void)alu_rem_reg( alu, num );
    		return ret;
    	}
    	
    	ret = alu_get_reg( alu, &div, sizeof(size_t) );
    		
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    	{
    		(void)alu_rem_reg( alu, num );
    		(void)alu_rem_reg( alu, val );
    		return ret;
    	}
    	
    	/* Hook registers */
    	DIV = alu->regv + div;
    	VAL = alu->regv + val;
    	NUM = alu->regv + num;
    	
    	(void)alu_mov( alu, num, src );
    	
    	V = DIV->part;
    	*V = base;
    	
    	N = NUM->part;
    	V = VAL->part;
    
    	do
    	{	
    		(void)alu_divide( alu, num, div, val );
    		ret = nextchar( base_str[*V], dst );
    		
    		if ( ret != 0 )
    		{
    			alu_rem_reg( alu, num );
    			alu_rem_reg( alu, div );
    			alu_rem_reg( alu, val );
    			return ret;
    		}
    	}
    	while ( alu_compare( *NUM, *DIV, NULL ) >= 0 );
    	
    	ret = nextchar( base_str[*N], dst );
    	
    	alu_rem_reg( alu, num );
    	alu_rem_reg( alu, div );
    	alu_rem_reg( alu, val );
    	
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    		return ret;
    	
    	ret = nextchar( 0, dst );
    		
    	if ( ret != 0 )
    		return ret;
    	
    	flipstr( dst );
    	
    	return 0;
    }

    Realised why I was getting a blank string, had to remove the extra NUL character I was adding and modify flipstr() to set v to used - 1.
    Apparently division is still having an issue somewhere down the line because 12 / 10 results in 4 atm.

    Edit: Resolved it, had to correct the final shift after the loop to this:
    Code:
    	if ( R->init.b )
    		ret = alu__shl( alu, num, bits + 1 );
