I suggest a comment like: /* The difference can overflow, only if self->size is greater than * PY_SSIZE_T_MAX. But then the operation cannot possibly succeed, * because the mapped area and the returned string each need more * than half of the addressable memory. So we clip the size, and let * the code below raise MemoryError. */ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6344> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
