What is the return type of the $bits system function? The LRM doesn't say. I assume that it is either int or unsigned int. Since it can never be negative, it might make sense for it to be unsigned. However, anyone using -$bits might be surprised when it came out a large positive value instead of the negative value they expected. Steven Sharp sharp@cadence.comReceived on Wed Oct 5 11:32:33 2005
