[issue23098] mknod devices can be >32 bits

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

This is not so easy as look at first glance. PY_LONG_LONG should be used instead of long long. And as far as this type is optional, its use should be conditional if HAVE_LONG_LONG is defined.

May be needed complex converter like _Py_Uid_Converter because dev_t on Linux is 64-bit unsigned int and can not fit in the range of 64-bit signed int.

The code for 3.x should be even more complex due to using Argument Clinic.
