Incorrect integer returned

playground.zip
The attached file demonstrates this chunk of code:
var a: Int128
a = i128("1231231298371293217931712312312983712932179317")
echo(a)

Returns this number:
30447654189836100383415788052960652661

Here were the release flags used:
nimble build --mm:orc --threads:on -r -d:release

It appears there is a discrepancy.

In addition, this code:

a = i128("270141183460469231731687303715884105727")

echo(a)

Results in:
99999999999999999999999999999999999999

This code:
a = i128("170141183460469231731687303715884105730")
Results in 2.

However,
a = i128("170141183460469231731687303715884105729")
and
a = i128("170141183460469231731687303715884105728")

Are overflow. Is this intentional?

Thank you for the report.

The current behavior is intentional, as overflow detection is not implemented. It's something I've been studying how to implement in the best possible way.

The current code is as if it were always compiling with -d:danger.

So any number above high(Int128) == 170141183460469231731687303715884105727 you can expect this silent overflow behavior.
