Question

我在OS X的Guile 1.8.8翻译中练习Scheme。我注意到了一些有趣的事情。

这是expt函数，它基本上是取幂expt(b,n) = b^n：

 (define (square x) (* x x))
 (define (even? x) (= (remainder x 2) 0))
 (define (expt b n) 
      (cond ((= n 0) 1)
        ((even? n) (square (expt b (/ n 2))))
        (else (* b (expt b (- n 1))))
      ))

如果我尝试一些输入

 > (expt 2 10)
 1024
 > (expt 2 63)
 9223372036854775808

这是一个奇怪的部分：

 > (expt 2 64)
 0

更奇怪的是，直到n=488保持0：

 > (expt 2 487)
 0
 > (expt 2 488)
 79916762888089401123.....
 > (expt 2 1000)
 1071508607186267320948425049060....
 > (expt 2 10000)
 0

当我使用repl.it在线解释器尝试此代码时，它按预期工作。那么 Guile 到底出了什么问题？

（注意：在某些方言中，remainder函数被称为mod。）

Answer 1

我最近在{Guile 2.0} fixed这个错误。当C编译器开始优化溢出检查时，该错误就出现了，理论上如果发生有符号整数溢出，则行为未指定，因此编译器可以做任何喜欢的事情。

Answer 2

我可以在OS X上用guile 2.0.6重现这个问题。它归结为：

> (* 4294967296 4294967296)
$1 = 0

我的猜测是，guile使用native int类型来存储小数字，然后切换到bignums，当本机int太小时，由GNU MP支持。也许在那种特殊情况下，检查失败，计算溢出了native int。

有趣的是，以下循环显示2 ^ 32和2 ^ 60之间的平方幂为2：

(let loop
    ((x 1)
     (exp 0))
  (format #t "(2^~s) ^ 2 = ~s\n" exp (* x x))
  (if (< exp 100)
      (loop (* 2 x) (+ 1 exp))))

结果：
