Fixed point type not multiplying correctly
I'm new to Ada, and have been trying out the fixed-point "delta" types. Specifically, I've created a 32-bit delta type range 0.0 .. 1.0. However, when I try to square certain values, I get a CONSTRAINT_ERROR. As far as I know, that should't happen with my specified range. The threshold for this error appears to be sqrt(1/2). I'm using GNAT from MinGW-w64 version 4.8.0.
Test code (all of it compiles in the form of gnatmake <file> with no warnings/errors):
types.ads:
pragma Ada_2012;
with Ada.Unchecked_Conversion;
with Ada.Text_IO;
package Types is
type Fixed_Type is delta 1.0 / 2**32 range 0.0 .. 1.0
with Size => 32;
type Modular_Type is mod 2**32
with Size => 32;
function Fixed_To_Mod is new Ada.Unchecked_Conversion(Fixed_Type, Modular_Type);
package MIO is new Ada.Text_IO.Modular_IO(Modular_Type);
package FIO is new Ada.Text_IO.Fixed_IO(Fixed_Type);
end Types;
specifics.adb:
pragma Ada_2012;
with Ada.Text_IO;
with Types; use Types;
procedure Specifics is
package TIO renames Ada.Text_IO;
procedure TestValue(val: in Fixed_Type) is
square : Fixed_Type;
begin
square := val * val;
TIO.Put_Line("Value " & Fixed_Type'Image(val) & " squares properly.");
TIO.Put_Line("Square: " & Fixed_Type'Image(square));
TIO.New_Line;
exception
when Constraint_Error =>
TIO.Put_Line("Value " & Fixed_Type'Image(val) & " does not square properly.");
TIO.Put_Line("Square: " & Fixed_Type'Image(val * val));
TIO.Put_Line("Not sure how that worked.");
TIO.New_Line;
end TestValue;
function ParseFixed(s: in String; last: in Natural; val: out Fixed_Type) return Boolean is
l : Natural;
begin
FIO.Get(s(s'First..last), val, l);
return TRUE;
exception
when others =>
TIO.Put_Line("Parsing failed.");
return FALSE;
end ParseFixed;
buffer : String(1..20);
last : Natural;
f : Fixed_Type;
begin
loop
TIO.Put(">>> ");
TIO.Get_Line(buffer, last);
exit when buffer(1..last) = "quit";
if ParseFixed(buffer, last, f) then
TestValue(f);
end if;
end loop;
end Specifics;
Output of specifics.adb:
>>> 0.1
Value 0.1000000001 squares properly.
Square: 0.0100000000
>>> 0.2
Value 0.2000000000 squares properly.
Square: 0.0399999998
>>> 0.4
Value 0.3999999999 squares properly.
Square: 0.1599999999
>>> 0.6
Value 0.6000000001 squares properly.
Square: 0.3600000001
>>> 0.7
Value 0.7000000000 squares properly.
Square: 0.4899999998
>>> 0.75
Value 0.7500000000 does not square properly.
Square: -0.4375000000
Not sure how that worked.
>>> quit
Somehow, multiplying val by itself yielded a negative number, which explains the CONSTRAINT_ERROR... but never mind that, why am I getting a negative number in the first place?
I then decided to test for the point at which squaring the numbers started failing, so I wrote the following snippet:
fixedpointtest.adb:
pragma Ada_2012;
with Ada.Text_IO;
with Types; use Types;
procedure FixedPointTest is
package TIO renames Ada.Text_IO;
