Feature #14378

Updated by HfCloud (Xiangyu Shi) about 6 years ago

On windows, start an IRB of a 64-bits ruby, enter these code: 
 ~~~ ruby 
 (1<<29).equal?(1<<29)   
 #=>true 
 (1<<30).equal?(1<<30) 
 #=>false 
 ~~~ 
 So, it is that FIXNUM of the 64-bits ruby is a 32-bits data? 
 But my friend try these code on linux platform and all got true(it means FIXNUM is 64bits)  
 Then I opened ruby/ruby.h and found this: 
 ~~~ ruby 
 #define RUBY_FIXNUM_MAX (LONG_MAX>>1) 
 ~~~ 
 The LONG_MAX of my compiler(msvc140, vs2017) is 2147483647, and the ruby which is installed by ruby-installer also have the same problem.
