This module provides operations on the type [nativeint] of signed 32-bit integers (on 32-bit platforms) or signed 64-bit integers (on 64-bit platforms). This integer type has exactly the same width as that of a [long] integer type in the C compiler. All arithmetic operations over [nativeint] are taken modulo 2{^32} or 2{^64} depending on the word size of the architecture. Performance notice: values of type [nativeint] occupy more memory space than values of type [int], and arithmetic operations on [nativeint] are generally slower than those on [int]. Use [nativeint] only when the application requires the extra bit of precision over the [int] type. *) val zero : nativeint (** The native integer 0.*) val one : nativeint (** The native integer 1.*) val minus_one : nativeint (** The native integer -1.*) external neg : nativeint -> nativeint = "%nativeint_neg" (** Unary negation. *) external add : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint = "%nativeint_add" (** Addition. *) external sub : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint = "%nativeint_sub" (** Subtraction. *) external mul : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint = "%nativeint_mul" (** Multiplication. *) external div : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint = "%nativeint_div" (** Integer division.

If [y] is not zero, the result of [Nativeint.rem x y] satisfies the following properties: [Nativeint.zero <= Nativeint.rem x y < Nativeint.abs y] and [x = Nativeint.add (Nativeint.mul (Nativeint.div x y) y) (Nativeint.rem x y)]. If [y = 0], [Nativeint.rem x y] raises [Division_by_zero]. *) val succ : nativeint -> nativeint (** Successor.

This is an arithmetic shift: the sign bit of [x] is replicated and inserted in the vacated bits.
