uint64_t in Serial.print

I'm working with the Card info sketch in the sd examples, and my 16gb sd card reports as 3gb. It's my understanding that this is a result of Serial.print only understanding uint32_t. I've tried editing print.h to understand long long int, but it's not taking.

What am I not understanding?

    size_t print(const __FlashStringHelper *);
    size_t print(const String &);
    size_t print(const char[]);
    size_t print(char);
    size_t print(unsigned char, int = DEC);
    size_t print(int, int = DEC);
    size_t print(unsigned int, int = DEC);
    size_t print(long, int = DEC);
//size_t print(long long, int = DEC);
    size_t print(unsigned long, int = DEC);
//size_t print(unsigned long long, int = DEC);
    size_t print(double, int = 2);
    size_t print(const Printable&);

    size_t println(const __FlashStringHelper *);
    size_t println(const String &s);
    size_t println(const char[]);
    size_t println(char);
    size_t println(unsigned char, int = DEC);
    size_t println(int, int = DEC);
    size_t println(unsigned int, int = DEC);
    size_t println(long, int = DEC);
//size_t println(long long, int = DEC);
    size_t println(unsigned long, int = DEC);
//size_t println(unsigned long long, int = DEC);
    size_t println(double, int = 2);
    size_t println(const Printable&);
    size_t println(void);

add this to print.cpp and the signatures to print.h - be aware long long is slow slow :wink:

void Print::println(long long n, int base)
{
  print(n, base);
  println();
}


void Print::print(long long n, int base)
{
  if (n < 0) write('-');
  if (base == 0) write(n);
  else printLLNumber(n, base);
}


void Print::println(unsigned long long n, int base)
{
  print(n, base);
  println();
}


void Print::print(unsigned long long n, int base)
{
  if (base == 0) write(n);
  else printLLNumber(n, base);
}



void Print::printLLNumber(unsigned long long n, uint8_t base)
{
  unsigned char buf[16 * sizeof(long)]; // Assumes 8-bit chars. 
  unsigned long long i = 0;

  if (n == 0) {
    print('0');
    return;
  } 

  while (n > 0) {
    buf[i++] = n % base;
    n /= base;
  }

  for (; i > 0; i--)
    print((char) (buf[i - 1] < 10 ?
      '0' + buf[i - 1] :
      'A' + buf[i - 1] - 10));
}

I get

When I run

/*
  SD card test 
   
 This example shows how use the utility libraries on which the'
 SD library is based in order to get info about your SD card.
 Very useful for testing a card when you're not sure whether its working or not.
 	
 The circuit:
  * SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
 ** MOSI - pin 11 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
 ** MISO - pin 12 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
 ** CLK - pin 13 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
 ** CS - depends on your SD card shield or module. 
 		Pin 4 used here for consistency with other Arduino examples

Print.h (2.71 KB)

robtillaart:
and the signatures to print.h

Did you do that?

I attached print.h

Does it look correct?

I'll will try the code myself, be back asap
[update]
unexpected conflicts - pity ...

a workaround: print it in 2 steps

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("start...");
  
  uint64_t ll = 123456789012345678ULL;
  uint64_t xx = ll/1000000000ULL;

  if (xx >0) Serial.print((long)xx);
  Serial.print((long)(ll-xx*1000000000));
}

void loop(){}

ok. I get

start...
12345678912345678

does this 'trick' solve your problem enough?

An "integrated solution" is more difficult than I expected.
I also had a quick look at - avr-libc: Modules - but found no solutions there either.

Not sure how to merge that into the sd cardinfo sketch .....

  // Serial.print("Volume size (bytes): ");
  // Serial.println(volumesize);

becomes

  Serial.print("Volume size (bytes): ");
  uint64_t xx = volumesize/1000000000ULL;

  if (xx >0) Serial.print((long)xx);
  Serial.print((long)(volumesize - xx*1000000000));

give it a try

I get:

Is this what you expected? if not what did you expect?

I was expecting somewhere around 16,000,000,000 bytes .....

can you post your complete code again?
