2.1 Immediate types

2.1.1 Integral types

Integral types are the FLI types that represent integers. They consist of the following::int,:byte,:long,:short,:signed,:unsigned and:enum.

Integral types can be combined in a list for readability and compatibility purposes with the foreign language, although when translated to Lisp such combinations are usually returned as a Lispinteger, or afixnum for byte sized combinations. For example, a Cunsigned long can be represented in the FLI as an(:unsigned :long).
