I lost the address of the caller with the 'C' program. Anyway don't you
mean this????
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int a = -(MAXINT-1), b = -1, c = a*b;
^--------^---------------------- The negative of 1 less
or -MAXINT, the negative of MAXINT.
You can't use one more than MAXINT with division. There is
no place to put the result.
fprintf(stderr, "%d * %d = %d\n", a, b, c );
if (b) {
c = a / b;
fprintf(stderr, "%d/%d = %d\n", a, b, c );
}
return 0;
}
This works. However, I don't like integer overflow from division
causing a floating-point exception. But, looking at the signals available,
I'd say that there are not too many to chose from.
There isn't any SIGIDIV.
