as does a huge number of things. Probably too many. Here's a comprehensive list of everything it can do.
Entries in italics are the names of functions that actually exist in the standard library, while all entries attempt to have a descriptive name for what a function that does the same thing as that particular as would do.
- int <-> int
zero_extend: unsigned int -> bigger unsigned int. Pads the number with leading zeroes. This preserves the numeric value.sign_extend: signed int -> bigger signed int. Pads the number with leading zeroes if positive, and leading ones if negative. This preserves the numeric value.truncate: bigger int -> smaller int (regardless of signedness). Throws away the high bits of the number.reinterpret_sign: int -> int of the same size and opposite signedness. Does nothing to the bits.
- int <-> float
cast_saturate_to_infinity: Yields the float closest to the specified integer. Yields infinity if the integer is out of boun
