Just as a comparison, here is the same code, but in Java.
===========================================
public class Overflow {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int d32;
long d64;
d32 = Long.MAX_VALUE;
System.out.println(d32);
System.out.println(d64);
}
}
==========================================
$ javac Overflow.java
Overflow.java:8: error: incompatible types: possible lossy conversion
from long to int
d32 = Long.MAX_VALUE;
^
1 error
The error is raised at compile time, which seems a LOT more logical to
me. After all, we don't want our programs to crash on site at a client -
then we look bad. :-/ I'd rather fix the code long before the client
sees it. ;-)
