From a49c59c042c63b432307c1bbf7dac5a104c786e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rolf Eike Beer Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:44:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Make sure the value in abs() does not get truncated if it is greater than 2^32 abs() will truncate the input if is it outside the 2^32 range. Fix that by assuming `long' input. This might generate worse code in the common case.
