Problem with random float value on Android

carew · 2014-09-14T16:09:04

In my app I have problem with floats on some Android based devices (ARM). Sometimes I see that my float has other value than which one I set before. I think that it may be caused by softfp (it's hard to reproduce this issue, because it appear in random situations - after 10 minute, next time after 3 minutes etc, but only for one variable). I don't see this issue on PC, so it looks like it's related to ARM and Android. I see that AngelScript doesn't support hard floating point on Android (as_config.h), but force softfp (AS_SOFTFP). Is it safe to force hard fp for AngelScript? Maybe it will solve my problem.

I'll be thankful about info (bug or not) with redeclared variables.

I've added the warning of hiding variables in outer scope in revision 2006.

I did not find any bug with the outer variable being accessed by mistake instead of the inner one though.

I can confirm that this bug wasn't caused by Angel Script. I found issue inside my C++ code and fixed it. If you can edit topic please mark it as "NOT BUG".

Thanks for it and all your help.

I'm glad you found the root cause. These intermittent problems can be a real pain to find, more so in your case since it only showed itself on Android devices.

Thanks for confirming that it wasn't a bug in AngelScript.
