al_itofix \- Allegro 5 API
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
#include\ <allegro5/allegro.h>

al_fixed\ al_itofix(int\ x);
\f[]
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Converts an integer to fixed point.
This is the same thing as x<<16.
Remember that overflows (trying to convert an integer greater than
32767) and underflows (trying to convert an integer lesser than \-32768)
are not detected even in debug builds! The values simply \[lq]wrap
around\[rq].
.PP
Example:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
al_fixed\ number;

/*\ This\ conversion\ is\ OK.\ */
number\ =\ al_itofix(100);
assert(al_fixtoi(number)\ ==\ 100);

number\ =\ al_itofix(64000);

/*\ This\ check\ will\ fail\ in\ debug\ builds.\ */
assert(al_fixtoi(number)\ ==\ 64000);
\f[]
.fi
.SH RETURN VALUE
