;; the value `10000000_00000000_00000000_00000000` in binary
;; maps to `-0` as a floating point and to `-2147483648` as an integer
;; push an f32 onto the stack
f32.const -0
;; reinterpret the bytes of the f32 as i32
i32.reinterpret_f32
;; the top item on the stack will now be the value -2147483648 of type i32
