The consensus is that this is a bug. ---------------------- Forwarded by Dominic Steinitz/HEATHROW/BRITISH AIRWAYS/GB on 16/05/2001 13:48 --------------------------- rjchaaft@cs.uu.nl on 16/05/2001 11:54:00 To: haskell cc: bcc: Dominic Steinitz Subject: Re: Integers to Ints Hello,

Can someone explain the following behaviour? Or is it a bug in hugs?

I can not explain it. Rather strange is that even this is allowed: (fromIntegral (toInteger (minBound::Int) + 1) -1) :: Int yielding -2147483648

...

(fromIntegral(toInteger(minBound::Int))::Int)

Program error: {primIntegerToInt (-2147483648)} (15 reductions, 70 cells)

...

(fromIntegral(toInteger((minBound::Int)+1))::Int) -2147483647 (21 reductions, 29 cells)

...

minBound::Int -2147483648 (9 reductions, 19 cells)
