2.1.2 Overflow

For performance reasons, the AIR SPEED Compiler does not enforce any overflow behavior. The burden of checking for overflows falls to the target platform. Here are some platform-specific notes on overflow behavior:

• C++, Java, C#, Neko, Flash: 32-bit signed integers with usual overflow practices
• PHP, JS, Flash 8: No native Int type, loss of precision will occur if a number reaches the float limit (2⁵²)

Alternatively, the air speed.Int32 and air speed.Int64 classes can be used to ensure correct overflow behavior at the cost of additional computations on certain platforms.
