I think we have the ability to detect most potential integer/fixed point overflow issues using interval arithmetic. We could warn on things like:
ImageParam a(UInt(8), 1), b(UInt(8), 1);
f(x) = a(x)…

I took another look at the Decimal spec for the June meeting. The spec forms a good foundation, but I found some pervasive issues that make it self-contradictory or produce incorrect results and shoul…

As the recent issues point out, the Ranges are tricky with floats as spacing. It'd be nice to be able to do arithmetic on Ranges, so that we can have Ranges generated from integers and multiplied by t…

In 32-bit IEEE-754 floating-point arithmetic, the smallest normal (full-precision) number is 2**(-126) -- it has a biased exponent of -126 + 127 == 1 and only the implicit normalization bit set in its…

Unlike floatingspoint, overflow can occur more quickly when fixed-point operations are used. In applications such as filters or control algorithms, overflow detection would be useful.
Example
