Module Nativeint

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 2³² or 2⁶⁴ 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.

let zero: nativeint;

The native integer 0.

let one: nativeint;

The native integer 1.

let minus_one: nativeint;

The native integer -1.

let neg: nativeint => nativeint;

Unary negation.

let add: (nativeint, nativeint) => nativeint;

Addition.

let sub: (nativeint, nativeint) => nativeint;

Subtraction.

let mul: (nativeint, nativeint) => nativeint;

Multiplication.

let 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.(/).

let 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 Division_by_zero.

let succ: nativeint => nativeint;

Successor. Nativeint.succ x is Nativeint.add x Nativeint.one.

let pred: nativeint => nativeint;

Predecessor. Nativeint.pred x is Nativeint.sub x Nativeint.one.

let abs: nativeint => nativeint;

Return the absolute value of its argument.

let 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.

let max_int: nativeint;

The greatest representable native integer, either 2³¹ - 1 on a 32-bit platform, or 2⁶³ - 1 on a 64-bit platform.

let min_int: nativeint;

The greatest representable native integer, either -2³¹ on a 32-bit platform, or -2⁶³ on a 64-bit platform.

let logand: (nativeint, nativeint) => nativeint;

Bitwise logical and.

let logor: (nativeint, nativeint) => nativeint;

Bitwise logical or.

let logxor: (nativeint, nativeint) => nativeint;

Bitwise logical exclusive or.

let lognot: nativeint => nativeint;

Bitwise logical negation

let 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.

let 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.

let 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.

let of_int: int => nativeint;

Convert the given integer (type int) to a native integer (type nativeint).

let 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.

let 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].

let to_float: nativeint => float;

Convert the given native integer to a floating-point number.

let of_int32: int32 => nativeint;

Convert the given 32-bit integer (type int32) to a native integer.

let 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 2³², i.e. the top 32 bits are lost. On 32-bit platforms, the conversion is exact.

let 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.

let to_string: nativeint => string;

Return the string representation of its argument, in decimal.

type t = nativeint;

An alias for the type of native integers.

let compare: (t, t) => int;

The comparison function for native integers, with the same specification 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.

Deprecated functions

let format: (string, nativeint) => string;

Nativeint.format fmt n return the string representation of the native integer n in the format specified by fmt. fmt is a Printf-style format consisting of exactly one %d, %i, %u, %x, %X or %o conversion specification. This function is deprecated; use Printf.sprintf with a %nx format instead.
