Sam Gross ad6110a93f gh-125842: Fix `sys.exit(0xffff_ffff)` on Windows (#125896 ) On Windows, `long` is a signed 32-bit integer so it can't represent `0xffff_ffff` without overflow. Windows exit codes are unsigned 32-bit integers, so if a child process exits with `-1`, it will be represented as `0xffff_ffff`. Also fix a number of other possible cases where `_Py_HandleSystemExit` could return with an exception set, leading to a `SystemError` (or fatal error in debug builds) later on during shutdown.		2024-10-24 12:03:50 -04:00
