Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: I tend to be fairly paranoid about operating systems doing occasionally bizarre things, so I like having clearly defined behaviour even when the OS does something arguably nuts, but permitted by the relevant standard. Hence I think keeping the check is the right thing to do, which means finding an alternative to silence the compiler warning on Mac OS X (and similar systems).
The "right" way is probably a configure check, but that feels like overkill for something minor like this. Brett's patch seems like a reasonable alternative if an appropriate guaranteed-to-be-at-least-64-bits type can be found, but 'long long' isn't a valid cast target for this unless Guido is OK with PEP 7 being modified to include a small number of permitted C99 features. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12837> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
