@ -1603,6 +1603,11 @@ When casting to bool, any value that would be considered true in the context of
a C '<tt>if</tt>' condition is converted to the boolean '<tt>true</tt>' values,
all else are '<tt>false</tt>'.<p>
When extending an integral value from a type of one signness to another (for
example '<tt>sbyte</tt>' to '<tt>ulong</tt>'), the value is sign-extended if the
<b>source</b> value is signed, and zero-extended if the source value is
unsigned.<p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
%X = cast int 257 to ubyte <i>; yields ubyte:1</i>
