When converting a negative number e.g., -2, the resulting ABI encoding should look as follows: fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffe. However, since the check of the type is for an uint instead of an int, it results in the following ABI encoding: 0101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010102. The Ethereum ABI (https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethereum-Contract-ABI) says, that signed integers are stored in two's complement which should be of the form ffffff.... and not 01010101..... for e.g. -1. Thus, I removed the type check in numbers.go as well as the function S256 as I don't think they are correct. Or maybe I'm missing something?pull/2653/head
