OARIS2 — Is type definition for plot_count field appropriate?

  • Key: OARIS2-11
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE Systems ( Ian Grover)
  • Summary:

    plot_count field of concentration_plot_cell_type is defined as unsigned long long 64-bit type, which causes issues with implementation languages and machine base type representation on 64-bit machines.
    Is it viable for a count of the number of plots in this clutter reporting context to exceed 2**32 (4 billion)? Would unsigned long be sufficient, hence making implementation more machine-friendly?

  • Disposition Summary:

    Change type of plot_count attribute

    The plot_count attribute in struct concentration_plot_cell_type should be an unsigned long (rather than unsigned long long). This has more than sufficient range of values for any application of the clutter reporting use case.
