Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: The patch is incorrect. Why do you think there is an overflow? There is none in the call to ParseTuple: the i argument parser expects a signed int*; passing a long* will break on systems where sizeof(int)!=sizeof(long) (such as typical 64-bit Unix).
In addition, the *actual* overflow in the current code (casting to uid_t) is not handled in the patch. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6873> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
