I see now. jintSize would be better than 4. But I think even better would be pointer size, though I haven’t found an existing constant for that. Maybe sizeof(address)? We have 'const int wordSize = sizeof(char*)'. The only disadvantage to that is the max value is then smaller on 64bit platforms than on 32bit platforms. I doubt the difference is interesting in practice though. I agree that there's no big difference in practice. I just wanted to avoid to have smaller upper limit for 64bit platforms. But if you prefer to use 'wordSize' instead of '4', I'm fine. It would give better readability.

Yes, please.
