[Bug-kawa] [bug #38081] Integer truncation

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #38081 (project kawa):

For what it's worth, Java does this as well.


        public static void main(String[] args) {
                byte b = (byte) 128;
                System.out.println(b);
        }
-verbatim+
prints

-128


I suspect a range check when using set! would result in an appreciable
performance hit.
