Abstract

This paper describes a method for supporting different internal representations of INTEGER values by compilers for modern high level programming languages. Such programming languages usually do not offer different INTEGER types. They rather provide facilities to declare subranges of INTEGER. A compiler for such a language should process this information to choose the optimal internal representation for INTEGER values. However for arithmetic expressions the different machine operations must be chosen carefully to protect the running program from illegal arithmetic overflow.
