Module Targetint
: sigend
Target processor-native integers.
This module provides operations on the type of signed 32-bit integers (on 32-bit target platforms) or
signed 64-bit integers (on 64-bit target platforms). This integer type has exactly the same width as
that of a pointer type in the C compiler. All arithmetic operations over are taken modulo 2^32 or 2^64
depending on the word size of the target architecture.
Warning: this module is unstable and part of Compiler_libs .
typet
The type of target integers.
valzero : t
The target integer 0.
valone : t
The target integer 1.
valminus_one : t
The target integer -1.
valneg : t->t
Unary negation.
valadd : t->t->t
Addition.
valsub : t->t->t
Subtraction.
valmul : t->t->t
Multiplication.
valdiv : t->t->t
Integer division. Raise Division_by_zero if the second argument is zero. This division rounds the real
quotient of its arguments towards zero, as specified for (/) .
valunsigned_div : t->t->t
Same as Targetint.div , except that arguments and result are interpreted as unsigned integers.
valrem : t->t->t
Integer remainder. If y is not zero, the result of Targetint.remxy satisfies the following properties:
Targetint.zero<=Nativeint.remxy<Targetint.absy and x=Targetint.add(Targetint.mul(Targetint.divxy)y)(Targetint.remxy) . If y=0 , Targetint.remxy raises Division_by_zero .
valunsigned_rem : t->t->t
Same as Targetint.rem , except that arguments and result are interpreted as unsigned integers.
valsucc : t->t
Successor. Targetint.succx is Targetint.addxTargetint.one .
valpred : t->t
Predecessor. Targetint.predx is Targetint.subxTargetint.one .
valabs : t->tabsx is the absolute value of x . On min_int this is min_int itself and thus remains negative.
valsize : int
The size in bits of a target native integer.
valmax_int : t
The greatest representable target integer, either 2^31 - 1 on a 32-bit platform, or 2^63 - 1 on a 64-bit
platform.
valmin_int : t
The smallest representable target integer, either -2^31 on a 32-bit platform, or -2^63 on a 64-bit
platform.
vallogand : t->t->t
Bitwise logical and.
vallogor : t->t->t
Bitwise logical or.
vallogxor : t->t->t
Bitwise logical exclusive or.
vallognot : t->t
Bitwise logical negation.
valshift_left : t->int->tTargetint.shift_leftxy shifts x to the left by y bits. The result is unspecified if y<0 or y>=bitsize , where bitsize is 32 on a 32-bit platform and 64 on a 64-bit platform.
valshift_right : t->int->tTargetint.shift_rightxy shifts x to the right by y bits. This is an arithmetic shift: the sign bit of
x is replicated and inserted in the vacated bits. The result is unspecified if y<0 or y>=bitsize .
valshift_right_logical : t->int->tTargetint.shift_right_logicalxy shifts x to the right by y bits. This is a logical shift: zeroes are
inserted in the vacated bits regardless of the sign of x . The result is unspecified if y<0 or y>=bitsize .
valof_int : int->t
Convert the given integer (type int ) to a target integer (type t ), module the target word size.
valof_int_exn : int->t
Convert the given integer (type int ) to a target integer (type t ). Raises a fatal error if the
conversion is not exact.
valto_int : t->int
Convert the given target integer (type t ) to an integer (type int ). The high-order bit is lost during
the conversion.
valof_float : float->t
Convert the given floating-point number to a target integer, discarding the fractional part (truncate
towards 0). The result of the conversion is undefined if, after truncation, the number is outside the
range [ Targetint.min_int , Targetint.max_int ].
valto_float : t->float
Convert the given target integer to a floating-point number.
valof_int32 : int32->t
Convert the given 32-bit integer (type int32 ) to a target integer.
valto_int32 : t->int32
Convert the given target integer to a 32-bit integer (type int32 ). On 64-bit platforms, the 64-bit
native integer is taken modulo 2^32, i.e. the top 32 bits are lost. On 32-bit platforms, the conversion
is exact.
valof_int64 : int64->t
Convert the given 64-bit integer (type int64 ) to a target integer.
valto_int64 : t->int64
Convert the given target integer to a 64-bit integer (type int64 ).
valof_string : string->t
Convert the given string to a target integer. The string is read in decimal (by default) or in
hexadecimal, octal or binary if the string begins with 0x , 0o or 0b respectively. Raise Failure"int_of_string" if the given string is not a valid representation of an integer, or if the integer
represented exceeds the range of integers representable in type nativeint .
valto_string : t->string
Return the string representation of its argument, in decimal.
valcompare : t->t->int
The comparison function for target integers, with the same specification as compare . Along with the
type t , this function compare allows the module Targetint to be passed as argument to the functors
Set.Make and Map.Make .
valunsigned_compare : t->t->int
Same as Targetint.compare , except that arguments are interpreted as unsigned integers.
valequal : t->t->bool
The equal function for target ints.
typerepr =
| Int32 ofint32
| Int64 ofint64valrepr : t->repr
The concrete representation of a native integer.
valprint : Format.formatter->t->unit
Print a target integer to a formatter.
