The problem is the ambiguity of the char datatype. On x86 gcc it defaults to signed, on ARM to unsigned. This results in negative values getting flipped.

See here: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/docs/faqs/signedchar.php

and here: https://github.com/sbpl/sbpl/blob/master/src/include/sbpl/discrete_space_information/environment_navxythetalat.h#L61

one solution is to simply compile with the -fsigned-char switch, forcing all chars to be signed

## Compiler flags
if(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX)
    ## signed char is default on x86 gcc, not on arm however.
    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-fsigned-char")        
endif()
