Compilation of the generated + Erlang module will then fail. + <item><p>A whole number of other semantical controls is currently missing. This + means that the compiler will give little or bad help to detect what's wrong + with an ASN.1 specification, but will mostly work very well when the + ASN.1 specification is correct. + </list> + <item> + <p>The maximum INTEGER supported in this version is a signed 64 bit integer.
