All numeric opcodes such as OP_ADD, OP_SUB, // and OP_MUL, are only allowed to operate on 4-byte integers in the range // [-2^31 + 1, 2^31 - 1], however the results of numeric operations may overflow // and remain valid so long as they are not used as inputs to other numeric // operations or otherwise interpreted as an integer. // // For example, it is possible for OP_ADD to have 2^31 - 1 for its two operands // resulting 2^32 - 2, which overflows, but is still pushed to the stack as the // result of the addition. That value can then be used as input to OP_VERIFY // which will succeed because the data is being interpreted as a boolean. // However, if that same value were to be used as input to another numeric // opcode, such as OP_SUB, it must fail. // // This type handles the aforementioned requirements by storing all numeric // operation results as an int64 to handle overflow and provides the Bytes // method to get the serialized representation (including values that overflow). // // Then, whenever data is interpreted as an integer, it is converted to this // type by using the makeScriptNum function which will return an error if the // number is out of range (or not minimally encoded depending on a flag).
