looks good. do we also need to update relevant test for this change?

Generally not. We only fix some compilation warnings and did not make obviously change. can refer to #131296 |

This indeed fixes the warning. IMHO, that's the most pragmatic fix. We could be fancy and do some #if on sizeof(Py_ssize_t), etc, but I don't think it is worth the hassle.

sizeof doesn't work in preprocessor checks anyway.

Yeah, I meant something like we do with SIZEOF_SIZE_T, but did not want to elaborate about it in great detail, because IMHO it isn't worth the churn?

@zooba Could you review and merge it, thank you! |

It's a bit of an annoying warning, because they'd be justified in still warning even with the cast (since it still can't ever be larger than that value for a given architecture), but there's nothing more we can do about it. If this cast ever stops suppressing the warning, then we probably just have to disable the warning. |
Clang-cl detects that on 32-bit builds the variable is always smaller than the value. But since the same code is used for other architectures, we can't just _fix_ it. This cast avoids the tautological-constant-out-of-range-compare warning.
