Tim Peters bc24eee333 Bug #1521947 : possible bug in mystrtol.c with recent gcc. In general, C doesn't define anything about what happens when an operation on a signed integral type overflows, and PyOS_strtol() did several formally undefined things of that nature on signed longs. Some version of gcc apparently tries to exploit that now, and PyOS_strtol() could fail to detect overflow then. Tried to repair all that, although it seems at least as likely to me that we'll get screwed by bad platform definitions for LONG_MIN and/or LONG_MAX now. For that reason, I don't recommend backporting this. Note that I have no box on which this makes a lick of difference -- can't really test it, except to note that it didn't break anything on my boxes. Silent change: PyOS_strtol() used to return the hard-coded 0x7fffffff in case of overflow. Now it returns LONG_MAX. They're the same only on 32-bit boxes (although C doesn't guarantee that either ...).		2006-07-27 01:14:53 +00:00
