Please look for "word." in the historical m3back, anything from a week or so ago, the release branch, any other release, etc.<BR>
I know I get runtime errors for large shift counts, I haven't used insert/extract as much, but if they are broken, then they have probably been broken a long time, probably forever.<BR>

I don't really allow Add/Subtract to overflow.<BR> In fact I didn't make that change. I removed the overflow in the test case.<BR> My work is actually finding code that depends on silent overflow.<BR> <BR>My usage follows historical usage.<BR>Even the change I did have, not sure it is still there, returned the correct "false".<BR> But after possible garbage produced (or the wraparound value))<BR> <BR> <BR>Realize that all my tint/tword code used to use word. There were no checks.<BR> <BR> <BR>Ok, some overflow I'm allowing is like here, so I must have kept a change in ToInt:<BR> <BR> IF (NOT TInt.ToInt(imm, ins.imm)) AND (NOT TWord.LE(imm, Target.Word32.max)) THEN<BR> t.Err("immOp1: unable to convert immediate to INTEGER:" & Target.TargetIntToDiagnosticText(imm));<BR> END;<BR><BR> IF (NOT TInt.ToInt(imm, ins.imm)) AND (NOT TWord.LE(imm, Target.Word32.max)) THEN<BR> t.Err("movImmT: unable to convert immediate to INTEGER:" & Target.TargetIntToDiagnosticText(imm));<BR> END;<BR><BR> IF (NOT TInt.ToInt(src.imm, ins.imm)) AND (NOT TWord.LE(src.imm, Target.Word32.max)) THEN<BR> t.Err("pushOp: unable to convert immediate to INTEGER:" & Target.TargetIntToDiagnosticText(src.imm));<BR> END;<BR><BR>It really is around some type ambiguity.<BR>Is the value signed or unsigned?<BR>Maybe we need TWord.ToWord(Word.T)?<BR>I think that is the simple answer really. Overflow checking good, no need to proceed with an answer, as long as we have a variant for conversion to 0..2^n. For now TInt.ToInt is what I use, a bit off.<BR> <BR> - Jay<BR><BR> <BR>

Certainly, allowing TInt.Add/Subtract to overflow will break large swaths of the front-end. There is a deep contract there that requires that TInt arithmetic not provide bogus results.
