The size of an int is one bit less than the machine's word size, so 31 bits on a 32-bit arch; this is because the internal representation of an OCaml value uses the LSB to distinguish between an int (stored in the top n-1 bits) and some other kind of object. -- Jed Davis <jldavis@cs.oberlin.edu> Selling of self: http://panix.com/~jdev/rs/ <jdev@panix.com> PGP<-finger A098:903E:9B9A:DEF4:168F:AA09:BF07:807E:F336:59F9 \ "But life wasn't yes-no, on-off.
