OK. That is a different question totally unrelated to the title of this thread. The highest bit set in a non-negative integer number for a number that will fit in a C signed long integer value can be found in a shell that conforms to the POSIX standards using something like:
Of course, this doesn't do any validity checking on the values entered and may die a horrible death if a non-numeric entry or an out-of-range numeric entry is given. With a 1993 or later version of the Korn shell, you might be able to process numbers considerably larger than 2**63 - 1.

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to change 24 bits depth display to 8 bits depth display for Sun Ultra1, running Solaris 8? THANKS in advance. I think that the command is ffbconfig, but it has nothing about depth. (4 Replies)
hey everybody,
i am currently working on solaris 10 os on a m5000 server. my problem is when i want the exact size of a program in execution, i am unable to do it. earlier i thought the RSS field of prstat but because of its large size it cant be the size. pmap -x shows some output but it includes... (2 Replies)
people i have a problem i have a 32 bits sparc processor, and solaris 64 bits processor, i install a oracle data base 64 bits, but my oracle will not run because my processor is from 32 bits this is ok??, i know if i have x86 i cannot install a 64 bits operatin system in a 32 bits processor.

Hi Everyone,
I can ask what is the option to compile a 64 bits program using gcc. I have looked everywhere but can't find it. Before I used to use cc and the -q64 flag was the option to generate the 64 bits binary. Can anyone tell me what is the flags when using gcc. Thanks...... (3 Replies)

So I need some help with this. Pardon me if I'm posting in the wrong forum, after some googling for my answer and finding nothing I found this forum. It seemed appropriate for what I was seeking. I just didnt find a forum that concerned the use of GDB. I'm learning to use the C language and GDB.... (2 Replies)
When I create a bootable Linux distro installation USB drive, I use this command: sudo dd if=/Path/to/linux_distro.iso of=/dev/rdisk<disk number>
bs=<number of bytes>
When I look it up, I've seen variations of people choosing 4M, and I think 8M, 2M, and maybe even 1M.
If I leave the operand... (4 Replies)

SYNOPSIS
#include <values.h>
DESCRIPTION
This file contains a set of manifest constants, conditionally defined for particular processor architectures.
The model assumed for integers is binary representation (one's or two's complement), where the sign is represented by the value of the
high-order bit.
BITS(type) The number of bits in a specified type (for example, int).
HIBITS The value of a short integer with only the high-order bit set.
HIBITL The value of a long integer with only the high-order bit set.
HIBITI The value of a regular integer with only the high-order bit set.
MAXSHORT The maximum value of a signed short integer.
MAXLONG The maximum value of a signed long integer.
MAXINT The maximum value of a signed regular integer.
MAXFLOAT, LN_MAXFLOAT The maximum value of a single-precision floating-point number, and its natural logarithm.
MAXDOUBLE, LN_MAXDOUBLE The maximum value of a double-precision floating-point number, and its natural logarithm.
MINFLOAT, LN_MINFLOAT The minimum positive value of a single-precision floating-point number, and its natural logarithm.
MINDOUBLE, LN_MINDOUBLE The minimum positive value of a double-precision floating-point number, and its natural logarithm.
FSIGNIF The number of significant bits in the mantissa of a single-precision floating-point number.
DSIGNIF The number of significant bits in the mantissa of a double-precision floating-point number.
