While we might never be able to have 100% of our code strict, we can at
the very least do it for all of our tests. This ensures that our tests
are using our API with the types as intended by the test author, and not
silently be cast to what our API requires.
* Bitwise Functions and 32-bit
When running the test suite with 32-bit PHP, a failure was reported in BITLSHIFT.
In fact, all of the following are vulnerable to problems, and didn't report
any failures only because of a scarcity of tests:
- BITAND
- BITOR
- BITXOR
- BITRSHIFT
- BITLSHIFT
Those last 2 can be resolved fairly easily by using multiplication by a power of 2
rather than shifting. The first 3 are a tougher nut to crack, and I will continue
to think how they might best be approached. For now, I have added skippable tests
for each of them, which at least documents the problem.
Aside from adding many new tests, some bugs were correctd:
- The function list in Calculation.php pointed BITXOR to BITOR.
- All 5 functions allow null/false/true parameters.
- BIT*SHIFT shift amount must be numeric, can be negative, allows decimal portion
(which is truncated to integer), and has an absolute value limit of 53.
- Because BITRSHIFT allows negative shift amount, its result can overflow
(in which case return NAN).
- All 5 functions disallow negative parameters (except ...SHIFT second parameter).
This was coded, but the code had been thwarted by an earlier is_int test.
* Full Support for AND/OR/XOR on 32-bit
Previous version did not support operands 2**32 through 2**48.
* - Added calculation engine support for the new bitwise functions that were added in MS Excel 2013
- BITAND() Returns a Bitwise 'And' of two numbers
- BITOR() Returns a Bitwise 'Or' of two number
- BITXOR() Returns a Bitwise 'Exclusive Or' of two numbers
- BITLSHIFT() Returns a number shifted left by a specified number of bits
- BITRSHIFT() Returns a number shifted right by a specified number of bits
