This only works for small integers. I guess this is because tagged pointers are used nowadays ?
No, it's because integers in a certain small range are cached. Not sure what the actual range is nowadays, it used to be something like -5 to 256 I think.
BTW you have to be careful testing this, because the compiler sometimes does constant folding, so you need to be sure it's actually computing the numbers at run time.
