When the ocaml compiler emits bytecode for 32-bit architectures, large interger literals will cause it to fail. 32-bit marshalling is most commonly used when compiling with the Js_of_ocaml backend. This error message is what you'd see when attempting to use ocamlgraph in a JSOO project: ``` ----line 1 of _none_ col 1 File "_none_", line 1: Error: Generated bytecode library "graph.cma" cannot be used on a 32-bit platform ``` By using 32-bit integer literals[1], we avoid the issue by eschewing platform-native integers.
