[issue16029] pickle.dumps(xrange(sys.maxsize)) produces xrange(0)

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson added the comment:

The bug is (not surprisingly) in range_reduce in Objects/rangeobject.c, where 

    return Py_BuildValue("(O(iii))", Py_TYPE(r),

should be

    return Py_BuildValue("(O(lll))", Py_TYPE(r),

But in writing tests for this bug, I fell over another one:


>>> import sys
>>> xrange(0, sys.maxint, sys.maxint-1)
xrange(0, -4, 2147483646)
