Description
In CPython, the id of an object is its address. It's computed by converting the pointer to an unsigned integer (
PyLong_FromVoidPtr
). A similar logic is present here, pointer is converted to aPy_ssize_t
andCPyTagged_FromSsize_t
is called with that integer.There is a problem with that approach:
Py_ssize_t
cannot hold every pointer value. Sometimes overflow happens andCPyTagged_FromSsize_t
is called with a negative integer.With the new approach, the number is checked: If it fits in a
Py_ssize_t
,CPyTagged_FromSsize_t
is called. If not, it is directlyconverted to a
PyObject
usingPyLong_FromVoidPtr
.Fixes #11148.
Test Plan
I used the Docker test in #11148. I could reproduce failure before the changes, it passed after the changes.
