The discussions on unification of int and long have now gone on for so
many months that I no longer know how to handle them for the following
scenario, please enlighten me.
I have C header files which I parse and to which I can do some simple
processing before outputting them as Python code. An example C file
will contain
enum {
kConstantOne = 0xffffffff,
kConstantTwo = -1,
};
Regexps will grab the two constants and output them to Python. The
Python programmer will pass these constants to an API routine, at which
point I need a PyArg_Parse format char that will convert both of these
values to the 32 bit pattern 0xffffffff.
Question 1: Do I need to add anything to the constants before
outputting them as Python code?
Question 2: Is there a format char that will convert both of the values
produced by the answer to question 1 to the 32 bit pattern 0xffffffff?
