Is this an appropriate approach?
int
PySize_AsInt(Py_ssize_t value)
{
if (value > (Py_ssize_t)INT_MAX || value < (Py_ssize_t)INT_MIN) {
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_OverflowError,
"Size value can not be represented as an integer");
}
return (int)value;
}
I would only define this when sizeof(Py_ssize_t) > sizeof(int) of course. In
other cases it would be a macro that just evaluates to value.
I would most likely need an unsigned version as well (although not for this
particular issue).
This code could be used in many C modules. Where in the Python code base should
such functions be placed?
