Unsigned addition really performs subtraction.

I am working on finding out the physical address range that I need to add to my page tables to access the provided framebuffer.

When I add the size of the framebuffer (Which I calculated as pitch * height) to the address of the framebuffer, the result appears to be a subtraction instead.

The calculated size of my framebuffer is 0x384000 bytes, and GRUB says that the start address is at 0x40000000. However, when I add these two numbers, I get 0x3fc7c000.

My first thought was that I was (somehow) getting a negative number for the size of my framebuffer (Or, at least the sign bit was set because of the multiplication result being large enough.) however, both my integers are `unsigned long long`and `unsigned long`, and I even checked with (x & (1 << 63)) and the sign bits are not set on either. Even if the sign bits are set, they should not be added as a signed integer.

What do you guys think is going on here? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank's for your consideration!

You're converting the number to signed int before printing it.

1 << 63

Also, you likely want 1ULL << 63.

Thank you guys!

That was probably the silliest mistake I have made in a while. At least I have learned something though: Always check your debugging methods.

Thanks again!
