What's wrong with MTA's Lua ?

[guix]

I try to understand why my function doesn't return the correct result in MTA's Lua

In codepad, the correct result:

In MTA, the exact same function and function calls (only with outputConsole) outputs different results :

1846309504

-931460096

335609632

Any idea why?

Can it be because I compiled MTA myself, on a 64bits pc ? I really don't understand and I've searched a solution for 2 days now and I'm tired of searching...

PS: I know about tocolor()

Edit: I've asked on the Lua IRC and I've been told it's because (MTA's) Lua was compiled to use floats for numbers, and that above 2^24 there is a precision loss, which explain my incorrect results.

Can be verified with: if 2^24 == 2^24+1 then outputConsole( "fail" ) end

Can this be fixed?

It's planned to be fixed: http://bugs.multitheftauto.com/view.php?id=5854

Indeed, working perfect in a server side script! I hope this will be fixed soon enough, if I could, I would try fix it myself but I have no idea where to start...
