I'm surprised that you did your regression tests longhand, rather than having a data table in perl of input and expected output, and auto-generating parrot code. Is there any speed advantage in truncating by casting via a C type [eg a = (int)(short) b] rather than and on a bitmask [eg a = b & 0xFFFF] ? We're going to have to do that latter to make it work on Crays anyway, so is a conditional compile to chose between the two worth it? Nicholas Clark
