I have discovered that if an integer type has a subrange, for example:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="err"> Var1: INT(1..50);</span>
</pre></div>
<p>then the TypeClass of the ANY variable becomes TYPE_SUBRANGE, instead of its base type. The problem is that it is not possible to determine what type the variable is. I can guess whether it's 8,16,32,or 64 bits, but there's not way to tell if it's signed or unsigned.</p>
<p>Has anyone else run into this? Why would it be designed this way?</p></div>
