Subject: [Caml-list] Int overflow in literals
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 14:53:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1067522012.5880.6.camel@qrnik> (raw)

I understand that int overflow is not checked on arithmetic for
efficiency reasons, but IMHO it would be better if it was checked
at least in literals. When someone writes 10000000000, he certainly
does not mean -737418240.

It caused confusion in a class when someone was interactively testing
a function with larger and larger inputs.
