[Python-Dev] int vs ssize_t in unicode (original) (raw)

Martin,

In Include/ucnhash.h I notice some integers and wonder if those should be Py_ssize_t. It looks like they are just names so they should be pretty short.

But in Objects/unicodeobject.c, I notice a bunch of ints and casts to int and wonder if they should be changed to Py_ssize_t/removed:

235: assert(length<INT_MAX); unicode->length = (int)length;

376, 404: int i;

1366: (seems like this could be a 64-bit value) int nneeded;

(i stopped at this point, there are probably more)

Modules/unicodedata.c (lots of ints, not sure if they are a problem)

494: isize = PyUnicode_GET_SIZE(input);

n
