Hi folks!

Calling print_hex() on a widest_int with the most significant bit turned 
on can lead to a leading zero being printed (0x0ffff....). This produces 
confusing dumps to say the least, especially when you incorrectly assume 
an integer is NOT signed :).

OK for trunk?

That's the intended behaviour though.  wide_int-based types only use as
many HWIs as they need to store their current value, with any other bits
in the value being a sign extension of the top bit.  So if the most
significant HWI in a widest_int is zero, that HWI is there to say that
the previous HWI should be zero- rather than sign-extended.

So:

   0x0ffffffff  -> (1 << 32) - 1 to infinite precision
		   (i.e. a positive value)
   0xffffffff   -> -1

Thanks,
Richard

Another potential way around this would be to print the leading - when applicable and negate the number.  I don't have any strong opinions about this, but thought I would mention it.  This would then allow the trimming of the leading 0 without confusion.

I for one find this very confusing.  If I have a 128 bit value, I don't 
expect to see a 132 bits.  And there are enough 0's its not obvious when 
I look.

I don't think a leading 0 should be printed if "precision" bits have 
already been printed.

But Aldy was talking about widest_int, which is wider than 128 bits.
It's an approximation of infinite precision.

wide_int is the type to use if you want an N-bit number (for some N).

Does 0 get printed in that case though?  Aldy's patch skips an upper
HWI if the upper HWI is zero, but we never have more HWIs than the
number that's being represented.

Thanks,
Richard

IMO, we should document this leading zero in print_hex, as it's not
inherently obvious.

But yes, I was talking about widest_int.  I should explain what I am
trying to accomplish, since perhaps there is a better way.

I am printing a a wide_int (bounds[i] below), but I really don't want
to print the sign extension nonsense, since it's a detail of the
underlying representation.  Currently I'm doing this to chop off the
unnecessary bits:

/* Wide ints may be sign extended to the full extent of the
   underlying HWI storage, even if the precision we care about
   is smaller.  Chop off the excess bits for prettier output.  */
signop sign = TYPE_UNSIGNED (type) ? UNSIGNED : SIGNED;
widest_int val = widest_int::from (bounds[i], sign);
val &= wi::mask<widest_int> (bounds[i].get_precision (), false);

if (val > 0xffff)
  print_hex (val, pp_buffer (buffer)->digit_buffer);
else
  print_dec (val, pp_buffer (buffer)->digit_buffer, sign);

Since I am calling print_hex() on the widest_int, I get the leading 0.

Do you recommend another way of accomplishing this?

No.

Thanks for your input Richard.

Ah!  OK.  Yeah, I agree it doesn't make sense to print sign-extension
bits above the precision.  I think it'd work if print_hex used
extract_uhwi insteead of elt, which would also remove the need
to handle "negative" numbers specially.  I'll try that tomorrow.

Is it just print_hex that's the problem?  Does print_dec handle
big negative numbers properly?

I agree we should make it so that wide-int-print.cc does the
right thing for this without the need to switch to widest_int.

Richard

I haven't checked.  I don't bother printing in decimal when the number 
is larger than say, 0xffff, hence the code above :).

How about this?  Not tested much beyond the selftests themselves.

Thanks.  Now tested on aarch64-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu and
x86_64-linux-gnu.  OK to install?
