I'm not aware of any work on improving the performance/correctness tradeoff of integral arithmetic on the Java platform. If you're generating byte-code for the Java VM, you have to choose between good performance but limited precision with silent overflow or poor performance but flexible precision. The general problem was "solved" long ago, including in the StrongTalk system that was a predecessor to HotSpot. Unfortunately those results have not been applied to the Java platform. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
