type t

The @@immediate64 attribute is to indicate that t is implemented by a type that is immediate only on 64 bit platforms. It is currently ignored by the compiler, however we are hoping that one day it will be taken into account so that the compiler can omit caml_modify when dealing with mutable data structures holding Int63.t values.

val (=) : t -> t -> bool
val (>) : t -> t -> bool
val (<) : t -> t -> bool
val (<>) : t -> t -> bool
val equal : t -> t -> bool
val compare : t -> t -> int

compare t1 t2 returns 0 if t1 is equal to t2, a negative integer if t1 is less than t2, and a positive integer if t1 is greater than t2.

val min : t -> t -> t
val max : t -> t -> t
val ascending : t -> t -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~compare:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t -> t -> int
val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool

between t ~low ~high means low <= t <= high

val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

Integer exponentiation

Negation

val neg : t -> t
val (~-) : t -> t

There are two pairs of integer division and remainder functions, /% and %, and / and rem. They both satisfy the same equation relating the quotient and the remainder:

x = (x /% y) * y + (x % y);
x = (x /  y) * y + (rem x y);

The functions return the same values if x and y are positive. They all raise if y = 0.

The functions differ if x < 0 or y < 0.

If y < 0, then % and /% raise, whereas / and rem do not.

x % y always returns a value between 0 and y - 1, even when x < 0. On the other hand, rem x y returns a negative value if and only if x < 0; that value satisfies abs (rem x y) <= abs y - 1.

val (/%) : t -> t -> t
val (%) : t -> t -> t
val (/) : t -> t -> t
val rem : t -> t -> t
val (//) : t -> t -> float

Float division of integers.

val (land) : t -> t -> t

Same as bit_and.

val (lor) : t -> t -> t

Same as bit_or.

val (lxor) : t -> t -> t

Same as bit_xor.

val lnot : t -> t

Same as bit_not.

val (lsl) : t -> int -> t

Same as shift_left.

val (asr) : t -> int -> t

Same as shift_right.

Other common functions

round rounds an int to a multiple of a given to_multiple_of argument, according to a direction dir, with default dir being `Nearest. round will raise if to_multiple_of <= 0. If the result overflows (too far positive or too far negative), round returns an incorrect result.

       | `Down    | rounds toward Int.neg_infinity                          |
       | `Up      | rounds toward Int.infinity                              |
       | `Nearest | rounds to the nearest multiple, or `Up in case of a tie |
       | `Zero    | rounds toward zero                                      |

Here are some examples for round ~to_multiple_of:10 for each direction:

       | `Down    | {10 .. 19} --> 10 | { 0 ... 9} --> 0 | {-10 ... -1} --> -10 |
       | `Up      | { 1 .. 10} --> 10 | {-9 ... 0} --> 0 | {-19 .. -10} --> -10 |
       | `Zero    | {10 .. 19} --> 10 | {-9 ... 9} --> 0 | {-19 .. -10} --> -10 |
       | `Nearest | { 5 .. 14} --> 10 | {-5 ... 4} --> 0 | {-15 ... -6} --> -10 |

For convenience and performance, there are variants of round with dir hard-coded. If you are writing performance-critical code you should use these.

val round : ?dir:[ `Zero | `Nearest | `Up | `Down ] -> t -> to_multiple_of:t -> t
val round_towards_zero : t -> to_multiple_of:t -> t
val round_down : t -> to_multiple_of:t -> t
val round_up : t -> to_multiple_of:t -> t
val round_nearest : t -> to_multiple_of:t -> t
val abs : t -> t

Returns the absolute value of the argument. May be negative if the input is min_value.

Successor and predecessor functions

val succ : t -> t
val pred : t -> t

Exponentiation

val pow : t -> t -> t

pow base exponent returns base raised to the power of exponent. It is OK if base <= 0. pow raises if exponent < 0, or an integer overflow would occur.

Bit-wise logical operations

val bit_and : t -> t -> t

These are identical to land, lor, etc. except they're not infix and have different names.

val bit_or : t -> t -> t
val bit_xor : t -> t -> t
val bit_not : t -> t
val popcount : t -> int

Bit-shifting operations

The results are unspecified for negative shifts and shifts >= num_bits.

val shift_left : t -> int -> t

Shifts left, filling in with zeroes.

val shift_right : t -> int -> t

of_float_unchecked truncates the given floating point number to an integer, rounding towards zero. The result is unspecified if the argument is nan or falls outside the range of representable integers.

val (lsr) : t -> int -> t

Same as shift_right_logical.

val shift_right_logical : t -> int -> t

Shifts right, filling in with zeroes, which will not preserve the sign of the input.

val ceil_pow2 : t -> t

ceil_pow2 x returns the smallest power of 2 that is greater than or equal to x. The implementation may only be called for x > 0. Example: ceil_pow2 17 = 32

val floor_pow2 : t -> t

floor_pow2 x returns the largest power of 2 that is less than or equal to x. The implementation may only be called for x > 0. Example: floor_pow2 17 = 16

val ceil_log2 : t -> int

ceil_log2 x returns the ceiling of log-base-2 of x, and raises if x <= 0.

val is_pow2 : t -> bool

is_pow2 x returns true iff x is a power of 2. is_pow2 raises if x <= 0.

val clz : t -> int

Returns the number of leading zeros in the binary representation of the input, as an integer between 0 and one less than num_bits.

The results are unspecified for t = 0.

val ctz : t -> int

Returns the number of trailing zeros in the binary representation of the input, as an integer between 0 and one less than num_bits.

The results are unspecified for t = 0.

module O : sig ... end

A sub-module designed to be opened to make working with ints more convenient.

Arithmetic with overflow

Unlike the usual operations, these never overflow, preferring instead to raise.

These functions return the least-significant bits of the input. In cases where optional conversions return Some x, truncating conversions return x.
