Describe the bug
Large values in registers are not displayed correctly. The loss of precision is reminiscent of that of JS floating point.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create a binary that stores a large value in a register, like with
or $0xffffffffffffffff, %rax
- Load the binary in gdbgui and run
starti
- Step past the instruction
Expected behavior
The value in rax should be displayed as 0xffffffffffffffff and 18446744073709551615.
Actual behaviour
Please complete the following information:
- OS: Linux 6.18.25, NixOS 25.11
- gdbgui version (
gdbgui -v): 0.15.3.0
- gdb version (
gdb -v): 16.3
- browser [e.g. chrome, safari]: LibreWolf 150.0-1
- python packages (
pip freeze): (Nix unpins the versions in requirements.txt before building)
