Given
var x : real(32) = 0.5:real(32);
var i : int(32) = 12345;
var m : x * i;
if m.type == real(64) then
{
writeln("64 bits was seen");
}
else
{
writeln("I expect 32 bits");
}
produces
64 bits was seen
Why would a 32 bit floating point number multiplied by a 32 bit integer
yield a 64 bit quantity? Is Chapel trying to avoid overflow?
