Is it backwards compatible to change an integer from unsigned to signed?

[Vitali Lovich]

If I change UInt64 to Int64 provided that I know I never sent a value that's > 2^63 - 1 ? Even if I did am I correct that it's the equivalent behaviour of treating it equivalent to a C++ cast?

[Ian Denhardt]

Yes, this is correct.
