(** Processor-native integers.

   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.

external rem : nativeint -> nativeint -> nativeint = "%nativeint_mod"
(** Integer remainder.  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.
   [Nativeint.succ x] is [Nativeint.add x Nativeint.one]. *)

(** [Nativeint.shift_left x y] shifts [x] to the left by [y] bits.
   The result is unspecified if [y < 0] or [y >= bitsize],
   where [bitsize] is [32] on a 32-bit platform and
   [64] on a 64-bit platform. *)

external shift_right : nativeint -> int -> nativeint = "%nativeint_asr"
(** [Nativeint.shift_right x y] shifts [x] to the right by [y] bits.
   This is an arithmetic shift: the sign bit of [x] is replicated
   and inserted in the vacated bits.

external shift_right_logical :
  nativeint -> int -> nativeint = "%nativeint_lsr"
(** [Nativeint.shift_right_logical x y] shifts [x] to the right

   regardless of the sign of [x].
   The result is unspecified if [y < 0] or [y >= bitsize]. *)

(** Convert the given integer (type [int]) to a native integer
   (type [nativeint]). *)

   the 64-bit native integer is taken modulo 2{^32},

   the conversion is exact. *)

external of_string : string -> nativeint = "caml_nativeint_of_string"
(** Convert the given string to a native integer.
   The string is read in decimal (by default) or in hexadecimal,
   octal or binary if the string begins with [0x], [0o] or [0b]
   respectively.
   Raise [Failure "int_of_string"] if the given string is not
   a valid representation of an integer, or if the integer represented
   exceeds the range of integers representable in type [nativeint]. *)

type t = nativeint
(** An alias for the type of native integers. *)

val compare: t -> t -> int
(** The comparison function for native integers, with the same specification as

    {!Set.Make} and {!Map.Make}. *)

   [fmt] is a [Printf]-style format consisting of exactly

   This function is deprecated; use {!Printf.sprintf} with a [%nx] format
   instead. *)
