WORD_TO_INT conversion

The WORD_TO_INT type conversion function converts an input value of the WORD data type into an INT output value.

This function performs a signed conversion because the most significant bit (msb) of the input WORD is interpreted as sign bit and transferred to the most significant bit (msb) of the INT output which is also considered as sign bit.

This way, the input value

16#7FFF (32767) results in 32767 (16#7FFF)
16#8000 (32768) results in -32768 (16#8000)
16#FFFF (65535) results in -1 (16#FFFF)
