New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>: When PY_SSIZE_T isn't defined and a format such as "s#" receives an object whose length fits in a Py_ssize_t but not in an int, the buffer length is silently truncated:
>>> s = 'x' * (4 * 1024**3 + 100) >>> t = zlib.compress(s, 1) >>> len(t) 12 >>> len(zlib.decompress(t)) 100 (from issue8650) ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 105217 nosy: haypo, loewis, pitrou priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: "s#" and friends can silently truncate buffer length type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8651> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
