Subject: [Caml-list] abs min_int
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2003 10:22:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m38ypc98ly.fsf@diebuntekuh.de> (raw)

Hi,

the manual describes the function "abs" as

"Return the absolute value of the argument."

This is not quite true:

        Objective Caml version 3.07+beta 2

# abs min_int;;
- : int = -1073741824

IMO abs should thow an Failure exception or the manual should 
point out this behavior.
