out of date.
COMP-5 Details (↑ Choosing Run-time Behavior)
◄Key► ◄Summary► ◄Up► ◄Contents► ◄Index► ◄Back►
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The possible values of integer are:
1 Behavior as in earlier versions of this compiler. The sign
is dropped.
2 The sign is not dropped. Negative numbers are stored in two's
complement form, so that, except for their byte-order being
machine dependent, unsigned COMP-5 items behave like COMP-X.
This results in highly efficient arithmetic on unsigned
COMP-5 items.
