Conversions between various integer types
Ocaml has the following integer types, with the following bit widths on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
arch arch type 32b 64b ---------------------- int 31 63 (32 when compiled to JavaScript) nativeint 32 64 int32 32 32 int64 64 64
In both cases, the following inequalities hold:
width(int) < width(nativeint)
&& width(int32) <= width(nativeint) <= width(int64)
The conversion functions come in one of two flavors.
If width(foo) <= width(bar) on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, then we have
val foo_to_bar : foo -> bar
otherwise we have
val foo_to_bar : foo -> bar option
val foo_to_bar_exn : foo -> bar
