Handling of Integers in ToHexString()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

i noticed that ACPICA handles integers passed to ToHexString() differently than the ACPI implementation of Microsoft Windows:

Windows:
byte 0x0f =>"0xf"
word 0x0f0f => "0xf0f"
dword 0x0f0f0f0f => "0xf0f0f0f"
qword 0x0f0f0f0f0f0f0f0f => "0xf0f0f0f0f0f0f0f"

ACPICA:
byte 0x0f =>"0000000f"
word 0x0f0f => "00000f0f"
dword 0x0f0f0f0f => "0f0f0f0f"
qword 0x0f0f0f0f0f0f0f0f => "0f0f0f0f" (32-bit table, but qword is 64-bit?)

This causes problems on my Inspiron 3505, as the ACPI battery serial number is generated by using ToHexString(<16 bit field>, Local1)
and Mid(Local1, 0x02, 0x04, Local0), causing a wrong serial number to be displayed when using ACPICA (0020 instead of 20CD).

Could it be possible to change the behavior of ToHexString() regarding integers to match the Microsoft Windows behavior?
Something similar was already done in ACPICA version 20181213.
