STATISTIC_BYTES_OUT with negative numbers.

For the benefit of anyone working with python, here's how I conquered this problem...

 

 

The problem with python's number handling is that it's near-impossible to get the straight bitwise representation of an int, especially negative numbers. However, since we know these are 32-bit integers, you can undo the two's compliment encoding and go from there.

 

 

Unformatted code:

 

-------

 

def toLongInt(ulong_64):

 

"""

 

F5 likes to hand out 64-bit values as a pair of signed 32s.

 

Need to undo the two's compliment to get the original

 

integers back, then "bit-concatenate" them.

 

"""

 

high = ulong_64.high

 

low = ulong_64.low

 

Convert both values from signed to unsigned

 

if high < 0:

 

high = high + (1<<32)

 

if low < 0:

 

low = low + (1<<32)

 

return long((high<<32)|low)
