=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is about the native integer numerical data type.  A native
integer is one of the types of datum that can appear in the numeric part
of a Perl scalar.  This module supplies constants describing the native
integer type.

There are actually two native integer representations: signed and
unsigned.  Both are handled by this module.

=head1 NATIVE INTEGERS

Each native integer format represents a value using binary place
value, with some fixed number of bits.  The number of bits is the
same for both signed and unsigned representations.  In each case
the least-significant bit has the value 1, the next 2, the next 4,
and so on.  In the unsigned representation, this pattern continues up
to and including the most-significant bit, which for a 32-bit machine
therefore has the value 2^31 (2147483648).  The unsigned format cannot
represent any negative numbers.

In the signed format, the most-significant bit is exceptional, having
the negation of the value that it does in the unsigned format.  Thus on
a 32-bit machine this has the value -2^31 (-2147483648).  Values with
this bit set are negative, and those with it clear are non-negative;
this bit is also known as the "sign bit".

It is usual in machine arithmetic to use one of these formats at a
time, for example to add two signed numbers yielding a signed result.
However, Perl has a trick: a scalar with a native integer value contains
an additional flag bit which indicates whether the signed or unsigned
format is being used.  It is therefore possible to mix signed and unsigned
numbers in arithmetic, at some extra expense.

=head1 CONSTANTS

Each of the extreme-value constants has two names, a short one and a
long one.  The short names are more convenient to use, but the long
names are clearer in a context where other similar constants exist.

Due to the risks of Perl changing the behaviour of a native integer value
that has been involved in floating point arithmetic (see L</BUGS>),
the extreme-value constants are actually non-constant functions that
always return a fresh copy of the appropriate value.  The returned value
is always a pure native integer value, unsullied by floating point or
string operations.

=over

=item natint_bits

The width, in bits, of the native integer data types.

# left until it turns into the sign bit.  "use integer" forces the use of a
# signed integer representation.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

Each "nint_", "sint_", or "uint_" function operates on one of the three
integer formats.  "nint_" functions operate on Perl's union of signed
and unsigned; "sint_" functions operate on signed integers; and "uint_"
functions operate on unsigned integers.  Except where indicated otherwise,
the function returns a value of its primary type.

Parameters I<A>, I<B>, and I<C>, where present, must be numbers of
the appropriate type: specifically, with a numerical value that can be
represented in that type.  If there are multiple flavours of zero, due
to floating point funkiness, all zeroes are treated the same.  Parameters
with other names have other requirements, explained with each function.

The functions attempt to detect unsuitable arguments, and C<die> if
an invalid argument is detected, but they can't notice some kinds of
incorrect argument.  Generally, it is the caller's responsibility to
provide a sane numerical argument, and supplying an invalid argument will
cause mayhem.  Only the numeric value of plain scalar arguments is used;
the string value is completely ignored, so dualvars are not a problem.

=head2 Canonicalisation and classification

These are basic glue functions.

=over

=item nint(A)

=item sint(A)

=item uint(A)

These functions each take an argument in a specific integer format and
return its numerical value.  This is the argument canonicalisation that is
performed by all of the functions in this module, presented in isolation.

=head2 Bit shifting

These functions all operate on the bit patterns representing integers,
mostly ignoring the numerical values represented.  In most cases the
results for particular numerical arguments are influenced by the word
size, because that determines where a bit being left-shifted will drop
off the end of the word and where a bit will be shifted in during a
rightward shift.

With the exception of rightward shifts (see below), each pair of
functions performs exactly the same operations on the bit sequences.
There inevitably can't be any functions here that operate on Perl's union
of signed and unsigned; you must choose, by which function you call,
which type the result is to be tagged as.

=over

=item sint_shl(A, DIST)

=item uint_shl(A, DIST)

Bitwise left shift (towards more-significant bits).  I<DIST> is the
distance to shift, in bits, and must be an integer in the range [0,
natint_bits).  Zeroes are shifted in from the right.

=cut

sub sint_shl($$) {
	my($val, $dist) = @_;
	$dist = uint($dist);
	croak "shift distance exceeds word size" if $dist >= natint_bits;
	use integer;
	return sint($val) << $dist;
}

sub uint_shl($$) {
	my($val, $dist) = @_;
	$dist = uint($dist);
	croak "shift distance exceeds word size" if $dist >= natint_bits;
	no integer;
	return uint($val) << $dist;
}

=item sint_shr(A, DIST)

=item uint_shr(A, DIST)

Bitwise right shift (towards less-significant bits).  I<DIST> is the
distance to shift, in bits, and must be an integer in the range [0,
natint_bits).

When performing an unsigned right shift, zeroes are shifted in from the
left.  A signed right shift is different: the sign bit gets duplicated,
so right-shifting a negative number always gives a negative result.

=cut

sub sint_shr($$) {
	my($val, $dist) = @_;

=head2 Format conversion

These functions convert between the various native integer formats
by reinterpreting the bit patterns used to represent the integers.
The bit pattern remains unchanged; its meaning changes, and so the
numerical value changes.  Perl scalars preserve the numerical value,
rather than just the bit pattern, so from the Perl point of view these
are functions that change numbers into other numbers.

=item nint_bits_as_sint(A)

Converts a native integer of either type to a signed integer, by
reinterpreting the bits.  The most-significant bit (whether a sign bit
or not) becomes a sign bit.

sub nint_bits_as_sint($) { use integer; nint($_[0]) | 0 }

=item nint_bits_as_uint(A)

=head2 Bitwise operations

These functions all operate on the bit patterns representing integers,
completely ignoring the numerical values represented.  They are mostly
not influenced by the word size, in the sense that they will produce
the same numerical result for the same numerical arguments regardless
of word size.  However, a few are affected by the word size: those on
unsigned operands that return a non-zero result if given zero arguments.

Each pair of functions performs exactly the same operations on the bit
sequences.  There inevitably can't be any functions here that operate on
Perl's union of signed and unsigned; you must choose, by which function
you call, which type the result is to be tagged as.

=item uint_cadd(A, B, CARRY_IN)

Addition with carry.  Two word arguments (A and B) and an input carry
bit (CARRY_IN, which must have the value 0 or 1) are all added together.
Returns a list of two items: an output carry and an output word (of the
same signedness as the inputs).  Precisely, the output list (CARRY_OUT,

subtracted from the first word argument (A).  Returns a list of two

=item natint_hex(VALUE)

VALUE must be a native integer value.  The function encodes VALUE in
hexadecimal, returning that representation as a string.  Specifically,
the output is of the form "I<s>B<0x>I<dddd>", where "I<s>" is the sign
and "I<dddd>" is a sequence of hexadecimal digits.

	}
	return ($sgn == -1 ? "-" : "+")."0x".$digits;
}

=item hex_natint(STRING)

Generates and returns a native integer value from a string encoding it in
hexadecimal.  Specifically, the input format is "[I<s>][B<0x>]I<dddd>",
where "I<s>" is the sign and "I<dddd>" is a sequence of one or more
hexadecimal digits.  The input is interpreted case insensitively.
If the value given in the string cannot be exactly represented in the
native integer type, the function C<die>s.

The core Perl function C<hex> (see L<perlfunc/hex>) does a similar job
to this function, but differs in several ways.  Principally, C<hex>
doesn't handle negative values, and it gives the wrong answer for values
that don't fit into the native integer type.  In Perl 5.6 it also gives
the wrong answer for values that don't fit into the native floating
point type.  It also doesn't enforce strict syntax on the input string.

=head1 BUGS

In Perl 5.6, when a native integer scalar is used in any arithmetic other
than specifically integer arithmetic, it gets partially transformed into
a floating point scalar.  Even if its numerical value can be represented
exactly in floating point, so that floating point arithmetic uses the
correct numerical value, some operations are affected by the floatness.
In particular, the stringification of the scalar doesn't necessarily
represent its exact value if it is tagged as floating point.

Because of this transforming behaviour, if you need to stringify a native
integer it is best to ensure that it doesn't get used in any non-integer
arithmetic first.  If an integer scalar must be used in standard Perl
arithmetic, it may be copied first and the copy operated upon to avoid
causing side effects on the original.  If an integer scalar might have
already been transformed, it can be cleaned by passing it through the
canonicalisation function C<nint>.  The functions in this module all
avoid modifying their arguments, and always return pristine integers.

Perl 5.8+ still internally modifies integer scalars in the same
circumstances, but seems to have corrected all the misbehaviour that
resulted from it.

Also in Perl 5.6, default Perl arithmetic doesn't necessarily work
correctly on native integers.  (This is part of the motivation for
the myriad arithmetic functions in this module.)  Default arithmetic
here is strictly floating point, so if there are native integers that
cannot be exactly represented in floating point then the arithmetic will
approximate the values before operating on them.  Perl 5.8+ attempts to
use native integer operations where possible in its default arithmetic,
but as of Perl 5.8.8 it doesn't always succeed.  For reliable integer
arithmetic, integer operations must still be requested explicitly.
