yes, usually when you use a language like Ruby, Python or Dart that let 32bits/64bits to overflow to big ints, and you have an application that actually have ints that overflow, you end up with a performance problem. Throwing an exception if an overflow occurs (like if there is a division by zero) is in my opinion a better semantics. > > bye Jochen > cheers, Rémi _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
