(** 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.

    Any integer literal followed by [n] is taken to be a [nativeint].
    For instance, [1n] is {!Native_int.one}.

    This module extends Stdlib's
    {{:http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Nativeint.html}Nativeint}
    module, go there for documentation on the rest of the functions
    and types.

external shift_right : nativeint -> int -> nativeint = "%nativeint_asr"
(** [Nativeint.shift_right x y] shifts [x] to the right by [y] bits.

  nativeint -> int -> nativeint = "%nativeint_lsr"
