[Python-Dev] PyInt_AsSsize_t on x64 (original) (raw)

Hello there. I'm working on getting the 64 bit build of the trunk pass the testsuite. Here is one snag, that you could help me fix.

In test_getargs2(), there is at line 190: self.failUnlessEqual(99, getargs_n(Long())) Now, the Long class has a int method which returns 99L.

However, we run into trouble here: intobject.c:210 if ((nb = op->ob_type->tp_as_number) == NULL || (nb->nb_int == NULL && nb->nb_long == 0)) { PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "an integer is required"); return -1; }

  if (nb->nb_long != 0) {
        io = (PyIntObject*) (*nb->nb_long) (op);
  } else {
        io = (PyIntObject*) (*nb->nb_int) (op);
  }

trouble here The trouble is that nb->nb_long is non zero, but when called, it returns an attribute error, since long is missing. nb_long points to instance_long.

Now, how to fix this? Should the code in intobject.c catch the AttributeError, maybe, and continue to the nb_int?
