NimbostratusHigh and low bits of 64-bit long and C#
Hi, what is the best way to take the high and low bits provided through iControl and create a 'long' in C from them?
I am currently using:
long wut = (ssl.statistics[0].value.high << 32) | ...
I can't help you with C, but maybe you'll be able to convert this. Here's how I do it in Python:
def convert_to_64_bit(high, low): """ Converts two 32 bit signed integers to a 64-bit unsigned integer. """ if high < 0: high = high + (1 << 32) if low < 0: low = low + (1 << 32) value = long((high << 32) | low) assert(value >= 0) return value

value = long((high << 32) | low)

return value

NimbostratusI must be misunderstanding what the high and low values are then. Even when porting your code to C (which was basically just adding the if checks), I get the same exact behaviour. And I can't find any documentation detailing getting the real value out of these two high and low values.
