/**
* This class represents the return value from an emulated system call,
* including any errno setting.
*
* On some platforms, the return value and errno are encoded in a
* single signed integer. A value less than zero but greater than
* -4096 indicates an error, and the value is the negation of the
* errno value. Otherwise, the call was successful and the integer is
* the return value. (Large negative numbers are considered
* successful to allow syscalls to return pointers to high memory,
* e.g., stack addresses.) See, for example, Appendix A of the AMD64
* ABI spec at http://www.x86-64.org/documentation/abi.pdf.
*
* Other platforms use a more complex interface, returning a value and
* an error code in separate registers.
*
* This class is designed to support both types of interfaces.
