hahah what a funny bug
they probably never expected some loser to get that many posts 11/25/2002 9:44:37 PM |

if smath is being serious.... the counters are probably held in 16-bit signed integers, as that's what most programming languages use. That means that the range of numbers the 16 bits can represent goes from -2^15 --> 2^15 - 1 (plus or minus one or so, i forget). And, as it happens, 2^15 is 32768. So the behavior of that variable after this point is probably unpredictable -- it will likely roll over into negative numbers or something. It can probably be set to an unsigned integer, in which case the max value is 2^16, or 65536, but seeing as jackleg will likely get there soon, a long integer will probably do better, which could go up to around 2^32 or 4 billion.... 11/25/2002 11:07:30 PM |

i was under the impression that most languages use 32 bit signed integers, and a long integer is 64 bits. Of course, by most languages I mean Java. 12/3/2002 4:07:05 PM |

yeah but databases store based on the size you designate to them, and most INT def's default to 16 bits. 12/5/2002 8:59:58 PM |

You are neglecting negative values. The highest possible integer for 16bits on a signed integer is 32767.
edit: didnt realise agentlion said the same thing.
