Sounds reasonable, and in line with what iirc was discussed on the tool stack side. > About the truncation issue: > I do not quite follow. Will this hurt if the value configured does > not exceed 4G? What about a type cast? A typecast would not alter behavior in any way. And of course a problem only arises if the value was above 4 billion. You either need to refuse such values while the attempt is made to set it. or you need to deal with the full range of possible values. Likely the former is the better (and I wonder whether the upper bound shouldn't be forced even lower than 4 billion).
