Conversion Operations (ESDL Editor)

Several operations allow to convert scalar elements of numerical or enumeration type to limitInt or wrapInt types:

<element>.wrapAround<ImplType>()
The element <element> is converted to a wrap-around integer type with an implementation type <ImplType>= Sint8, Sint16, Sint32, Uint8, Uint16, or Uint32 and an interval selected by the code generator.
<element>.wrapAround<ImplType>(<min>,<max>)
The element <element> is converted to a wrap-around integer type with an interval specified by the user. The lower and upper bounds of the interval, <min> and <max>, must be generation-time constant integer expressions that are representable in the specified <ImplType>= Sint8, Sint16, Sint32, Uint8, Uint16, or Uint32.
<element>.limit()
The element <element> is converted to a limited integer type with an interval selected by the code generator.
<element>.limit(<min>,<max>)
The element <element> is converted to a limited integer type with an interval specified by the user. The lower and upper bounds of the interval, <min> and <max>, must be generation-time constant integer expressions that are representable in a common integer type.

See Examples: Conversion Operations for examples for all four operations.
