There are also cases of implicit casts like this that were not
caught so far:
static Py_ssize_t
mmap_buffer_getreadbuf(mmap_object *self, Py_ssize_t index, const
void **ptr)
{
...
return self->size;
}
static Py_ssize_t
mmap_buffer_getwritebuf(mmap_object *self, Py_ssize_t index, const
void **ptr)
{
...
return self->size;
}
I don't have any system with sizeof(size_t) != sizeof(long), but it
maybe worth the effort to review the warnings on such system.
