STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment:
getarg.patch fixes STORE_SIZE macro used in convertsimple(). If the input size
is bigger than INT_MAX, it raises an OverflowError("size does not fit in an
int") and calls converterr() which expected="".
The value of expected is useless because converterr() is only used to notice
that an error occured. I think that return msgbuf instead of calling
converterr() would be enough, but I don't know this code very well and so i
copied the code used to raise an OverflowError for the 'b' format.
