error in range_boundaries_to_cidr

[liki1017]

Thank you for this wonderful package.

I've run range_boundaries_to_cidr, but there were lots of errors. When I was using it with ip addresses starts with 2xx.xxx.xxx.xxx, it returns 128.0.0./32 for all addresses. You may try with ("210.98.224.0", "210.98.227.255"), for example. I would really appreciate if I can use this package to figure out the ranges for those 2xx~~~~ addresses. Thank you in advance.

Can you provide a minimum viable example (perhaps use the reprex package) and also the output of sessionInfo()

I've run the following on Ubuntu and macOS without fail:

library(iptools)

range_boundaries_to_cidr(
  ip_to_numeric("210.98.224.0"), 
  ip_to_numeric("210.98.227.255")
)
## [1] "210.98.224.0/22"

Dear hrbrmstr, Thank you for your reply. Here is what I got.

library(iptools)

range_boundaries_to_cidr(

• ip_to_numeric("210.98.224.0"),
• ip_to_numeric("210.98.227.255")
• ) [1] "128.0.0.0/32"

In this table, the first column is start ip, the second one is end ip, and the last column is cider I got from range_boundaries_to_cidr. Again, I really appreciate your help.

I can confirm this bug occurs on Windows 10/R 3.5.3 64-bit. At a guess, I'd say the problem is in iptools.cpp, where a couple of vars are defined as long int. This type is 64 bits on Unix-alikes, but 32 bits on Win32.

Note that the output is correct for addresses that are smaller than 127.255.255.255:

> range_boundaries_to_cidr(ip_to_numeric("127.255.255.0"), ip_to_numeric("127.255.255.255"))
[1] "127.255.255.0/24"
> range_boundaries_to_cidr(ip_to_numeric("128.0.0.0"), ip_to_numeric("128.0.0.255"))
[1] "128.0.0.0/32"
