Is there a function in cgen for parsing short integers?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. :)
I am doing precisely what you have decribed.
However, I need to differentiate between -1 which is represented as a 16 
bit number (0xFFFF) and -1 which is represented as a 32 bit number 
(0xFFFFFFFF).
Is there a way to do that?

Cheers,
Mehak
