that’s a nasty type of a cast bug
look at the coding guidelines from hashcat for inspiration
they try to remove the human in the loop via convention
yeah..
For that reason, I intentionally do that sort of conversion only in a few places
but I should move it into a library with unit tests
for string to SNOW long
code formatting pedantry helps with such dangerous things
for example: only cast variables
there you cast an expression and the lexer got you? (details of java to classfile compilation are fuzzy to me)
yeah, details of that one were fuzzy to me as well. :wink:
a thought of an early pypy adopter: worst case being that changes in JIT
