Error printing negative values with fmt.println and fmt.print

[kevinend]

Hey Bill,

I was playing around with Odin last night (I love what you have done so far) and noticed a bug in trying to print the value -1 using fmt.print and fmt.println. The value produced was -18,446,744,073,709,551,615. I am using v0.0.6 of the compiler btw in case this has since been fixed. It may just be a conversion error in the printing functions since I used the value containing -1 elsewhere in other expressions and everything worked fine.

FYI: I just tried it again this morning and the error still occurs. It looks like it is happening with negative values in general. I didn't test too many numbers but thought I should update my comment.

This is just a library bug. It will be fixed in the next update but if you want to fix it now, in fmt.odin and procedure fmt_integer, change:

u = abs(u); // from
u = cast(u64)abs(cast(i64)u); // to
