Module Nativeint
: sig end
Processor-native integers.
This module provides operations on the type nativeint of signed 32-bit
integers (on 32-bit platforms) or signed 64-bit integers (on 64-bit
platforms). This integer type has exactly the same width as that of a
pointer type in the C compiler. All arithmetic operations over
nativeint are taken modulo 2^{32 or 2^{64 depending on the word size of
the architecture.
Performance notice: values of type nativeint occupy more memory space
than values of type int , and arithmetic operations on nativeint are
generally slower than those on int . Use nativeint only when the
application requires the extra bit of precision over the int type.
val zero : nativeint
The native integer 0.
val one : nativeint
The native integer 1.
val minus_one : nativeint
The native integer -1.
val neg : nativeint -> nativeint
Unary negation.
val add : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint
Addition.
val sub : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint
Subtraction.
val mul : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint
Multiplication.
val div : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint
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 Pervasives.(/) .
val rem : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint
Integer remainder. If y is not zero, the result of Nativeint.rem x y
satisfies the following properties: Nativeint.zero <= Nativeint.rem x y
< Nativeint.abs y and x = Nativeint.add (Nativeint.mul (Nativeint.div x
y) y) (Nativeint.rem x y) . If y = 0 , Nativeint.rem x y raises Divi-
sion_by_zero .
val succ : nativeint -> nativeint
Successor. Nativeint.succ x is Nativeint.add x Nativeint.one .
val pred : nativeint -> nativeint
Predecessor. Nativeint.pred x is Nativeint.sub x Nativeint.one .
val abs : nativeint -> nativeint
Return the absolute value of its argument.
val size : int
The size in bits of a native integer. This is equal to 32 on a 32-bit
platform and to 64 on a 64-bit platform.
val max_int : nativeint
The greatest representable native integer, either 2^{31 - 1 on a 32-bit
platform, or 2^{63 - 1 on a 64-bit platform.
val min_int : nativeint
The greatest representable native integer, either -2^{31 on a 32-bit
platform, or -2^{63 on a 64-bit platform.
val logand : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint
Bitwise logical and.
val logor : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint
Bitwise logical or.
val logxor : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint
Bitwise logical exclusive or.
val lognot : nativeint -> nativeint
Bitwise logical negation
val shift_left : nativeint -> int -> nativeint
Nativeint.shift_left x y 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.
val shift_right : nativeint -> int -> nativeint
Nativeint.shift_right x y 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 .
val shift_right_logical : nativeint -> int -> nativeint
Nativeint.shift_right_logical x y 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 .
val of_int : int -> nativeint
Convert the given integer (type int ) to a native integer (type
nativeint ).
val to_int : nativeint -> int
Convert the given native integer (type nativeint ) to an integer (type
int ). The high-order bit is lost during the conversion.
val of_float : float -> nativeint
Convert the given floating-point number to a native integer, discarding
the fractional part (truncate towards 0). The result of the conversion
is undefined if, after truncation, the number is outside the range [
Nativeint.min_int , Nativeint.max_int ].
val to_float : nativeint -> float
Convert the given native integer to a floating-point number.
val of_int32 : int32 -> nativeint
Convert the given 32-bit integer (type int32 ) to a native integer.
val to_int32 : nativeint -> int32
Convert the given native 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.
val of_string : string -> nativeint
Convert the given string to a native 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 .
val to_string : nativeint -> string
Return the string representation of its argument, in decimal.
type t = nativeint
An alias for the type of native integers.
val compare : t -> t -> int
The comparison function for native integers, with the same specifica-
tion as Pervasives.compare . Along with the type t , this function
compare allows the module Nativeint to be passed as argument to the
functors Set.Make and Map.Make .
