why is uint 31 bit?

[GloriousGlider8]

Pretty self-explanatory, but why?
This genuinely causes issues when, for example, parsing binary files.

See #61.

Please give more details about your case and how do you expect your Fusion code translated to Java?

[GloriousGlider8]

Well, somewhere in my file I need to write some unsigned integers to an Array, in python, this array would normally translate to array.array("i", [ 0 ]), but I have to manually change it to array.array("I", [ 0 ]) to avoid OverflowErrors

[pfusik]

Is this an array:
a. Passed from Python to Fusion
b. Used internally in Fusion
c. Passed from Fusion to Python
?

c. Passed from Fusion to Python

In this case your options for now are:

1. Have an array of 64-bit longs.
2. Store as an array of ints and return one requested element at a time as long.
3. Instruct the Python user to & 0xffffffff on retrieval.

All the above will work for Java, which doesn't have 32-bit unsigned integer type.

Sorry for inconvenience. Unsigned types are not as easy as they seem - they introduce promotion rules and additional operator modes.
