Subject: Int64 overflow checks
Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2007 12:24:12 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <A6FA37DD-F163-4B0C-99E5-4BBED31CD56A@rice.edu> (raw)
Hi
I am writing an implementation of the Python programming language in
OCaml and ran into an interesting issue.
Python allows the programmer to implicitly perform arbitrary-sized
integer operations by switching internally between its 'int' and
'long' types. (which seems to translate to OCaml's int64 and BigInt).
I found an OCaml library on a mailing list which checks for overflow
in 'normal' 32-bit integer operations. How can I check for overflows
in int64 operations so I can switch to big-int if that happens?
Thanks!
Raj
