Description

I am wondering when unsigned types NN8 & NN32 will be supported. I also need support for hexadecimal types. I tried using 077_16 but it didn't work.

There's no particular item on the schedule for unsigned types. I do know of a Java library for dealing with 32 and 64-bit unsigned operations and to/from String conversions (which is to say, I wrote one at a previous employer, and they gave it away).

"Hexadecimal types" is a misnomer, I think; what you seem to be asking for is hexadecimal integer literals.

I am trying to convert (from C) unsigned char, short, etc. to Fortress types NN8, 16, ... Likewise, I was trying to write down values from a C code written as '0x' and from the language specs it appeared to be as simple as including an _16.

Thanks
