The check is omitted in the name of (initial) simplicity of the ocamlopt code generator, e.g. "for a start, let's map all arithmetic operations to those of the hardware and see if that's good enough". I'm not too concerned about the run-time penalty: integer division is slow even on processors that have it in hardware. - Xavier Leroy ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
