J.3.5 Integers
In this section:
Extended integer types (6.2.5)
There are no extended integer types.
Range of integer values (6.2.6.2)
The representation of integer values are in the two's complement form. The most significant bit holds the sign—1 for negative, 0 for positive and zero.
For information about the ranges for the different integer types, see Basic data types—integer types.
The rank of extended integer types (6.3.1.1)
There are no extended integer types.
Signals when converting to a signed integer type (6.3.1.3)
No signal is raised when an integer is converted to a signed integer type.
Signed bitwise operations (6.5)
Bitwise operations on signed integers work the same way as bitwise operations on unsigned integers—in other words, the sign-bit will be treated as any other bit, except for the operator >> which will behave as an arithmetic right shift.
