| ## Unsigned data conversion with overflow detection | ||
|
|
||
| `conv.ovf.<to type>.un` opcode is purposed for converting a value on the stack to an integral value while treating the stack source as unsigned. Ecma does not distinguish signed and unsigned values on the stack so such opcode is needed as a complement for `conv.ovf.<to type>`. | ||
| So if the value on the stack is 4-byte size integral created by `Ldc_I4 0xFFFFFFFF` the results of different conversion opcodes will be: | ||
|
|
||
| * conv.ovf.i4 -> -1 (0xFFFFFFFF) | ||
| * conv.ovf.u4 -> overflow | ||
| * conv.ovf.i4.un -> overflow | ||
| * conv.ovf.u4.un -> uint.MaxValue (0xFFFFFFFF) | ||
|
|
||
| However, the source of these opcodes can be a float value and it was not clear how in such case .un should be treated. The ECMA was saying: "The item on the top of the stack is treated as an unsigned value before the conversion." but there was no definition of "treated" so the result of: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| ldc.r4 -1 | ||
| conv.ovf.i4.un | ||
| ``` | ||
| was ambiguous, it could treat -1 as 0xFFFFFFFF and return 0xFFFFFFFF or it could throw an overflow exception. | ||

This should be put into a new section describing feature area. Effectively, each set of changes to the Ecma standard describes what the general impact is, and then there is the modification to the actual standardese. As it is this work is appended onto the covariant return types work, but really should be in its own chunk.

There was a problem hiding this comment. Choose a reason for hiding this commentThe reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more. I see, I have added a new chapter and tried to add a justification for the change. I have not found a template for this, looks like different chapters are organized differently, please tell me if you want me to add issue numbers, link to the current standard, or something else. |

| (Edit 1st Description paragraph:) | ||
| Convert the value on top of the stack to the type specified in the opcode, and leave that converted | ||
| value on the top of the stack. If the value cannot be represented, an exception is thrown. | ||
|
|
||
| (Edit 2nd Description paragraph:) | ||
|
|
||
| Conversions from floating-point numbers to integral values truncate the number toward zero and used as-is ignoring .un suffix. The integral item | ||
| on the top of the stack is reinterpreted as an unsigned value before the conversion. | ||
| Note that integer values of less than 4 bytes are extended to int32 (not native int) on the | ||
| evaluation stack. | ||
