Out of curiosity, how are unsigned types handled by Kotlin/Native?

The docs just say, "All supported C types have corresponding representations in Kotlin: Signed, unsigned integral and floating point types are mapped to their Kotlin counterpart with the same width." (<https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/master/INTEROP.md>)

What happens if a native API returns an unsigned type with a value that is out of range for the corresponding signed type in Kotlin (e.g. an unsigned short with a value of 65535)?

I notice <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-191> was closed without explanation.

Check this post from <@U0AK3QC2V>

Unsigned integer is Kotlin-wide feature, and will be implemented as such
