Scope

Use isize rather than i32 for _warnings.warn's stacklevel, matching the pinned CPython 3.15 Clinic Py_ssize_t converter and the existing RustPython warning pipeline. This avoids premature overflow on 64-bit targets.

Before widening that input, make both frame-walk loops check stack_level > 1 before decrementing. This preserves ordinary frame selection while preventing signed-minimum underflow. Large positive levels still stop when frames are exhausted; they do not iterate to the numeric limit. Existing skip-prefix clamping is unchanged.

Validation and limits

  • Independent source review and normal repository commit hooks passed.
  • Local Cargo compilation/tests and interpreter runtime were not run due to the existing dependency-cache/network blocker; exact-head CI is pending.
  • Existing canonical test_warnings covers ordinary stack levels, exhausted 9999, and prefix-clamped 0/-99. It does not directly verify the integer-width extremes.
  • CPython's signed-minimum C predecrement is not used as a defined-behavior oracle. This patch deliberately avoids Rust overflow; it does not claim CPython signed-minimum runtime parity.

No Lib tests/assertions, dependencies, workflows or generic binding order changes. This is independent of #9538, which touches separate default-metadata hunks in the same _warnings.rs file; integrate both changes if either lands first.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor
    • Streamlined warning stack-level handling. Warning frame traversal behavior remains unchanged.

Avoid decrementing nonpositive stack levels so the signed minimum cannot overflow during frame selection.

Walkthrough

The warning stack level now uses isize from WarnArgs through warn. Both frame-walking loops in setup_context check the stack level before decrementing it. Frame traversal and effective iteration counts remain unchanged.

Changes: Warning stack-level handling

WarnArgs.stacklevel now uses isize, and warn passes it without a cast. Both setup_context frame-walking loops check stack_level > 1 before decrementing. Frame traversal and effective iteration counts remain unchanged.

The change supports native-width warning stack levels and avoids signed-minimum underflow. Boundary tests remain useful follow-ups, but no blocking behavior issue was established.

Nitpick Add a regression test for stacklevel above i32::MAX to the shared WarnTests class.

90-90: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add a regression test for stacklevel above i32::MAX to the shared WarnTests class.

WarnArgs.stacklevel is isize at crates/vm/src/stdlib/_warnings.rs:90, so warnings.warn accepts values above i32::MAX on 64-bit builds. The stack-level tests in Lib/test/test_warnings/__init__.py use only 0, 1, 2, 3, 9999, and -99. A change back to i32 would not fail any test in that file.

Lib/warnings.py rebinds warn to the native _warnings.warn when its from _warnings import (...) succeeds. For CWarnTests, module is that accelerated warnings module, so the new test reaches the native parser. WarnTests also runs under PyWarnTests, which exercises the pure-Python _py_warnings path.

Suggested test
+    def test_stacklevel_above_i32_max(self):
+        # stacklevel is isize; values above i32::MAX are accepted on 64-bit builds.
+        if sys.maxsize <= 2**31 - 1:
+            self.skipTest("requires a 64-bit build")
+        with self.module.catch_warnings(record=True) as w:
+            self.module.simplefilter("always")
+            self.module.warn("big", stacklevel=2**31)
+        self.assertEqual(len(w), 1)
+        self.assertEqual(str(w[0].message), "big")

Review comment at @crates/vm/src/stdlib/_warnings.rs at line 90:
Add a regression test to the shared WarnTests class in the stack-level tests
that calls warnings.warn with stacklevel above i32::MAX, verifies one warning
with the expected message, and skips on builds where sys.maxsize is at most
i32::MAX. Ensure it runs through both the native and pure-Python warning
implementations.
Nitpick Add a signed-minimum stacklevel case to the warning tests.

747-748: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add a signed-minimum stacklevel case to the warning tests.

The frame-walk loops in setup_context run only while stack_level > 1, so isize::MIN skips them without a decrement. The existing stacklevel tests use 0, 1, 2, 3, 9999, and -99. None of these values makes a decrement underflow, so they do not isolate that case. The signed minimum, -sys.maxsize - 1, equals isize::MIN on both 32-bit and 64-bit targets. It also exposes arithmetic underflow if the decrement is moved before the check. Add a case that checks the signed minimum selects the same caller frame as stacklevel=1. Both calls share one call site in the loop. The current behavior is correct, so this is a follow-up to add regression coverage.

Suggested test addition
+    def test_stacklevel_signed_minimum(self):
+        # The signed minimum must not underflow during frame selection.
+        # Both levels must select the same caller frame.
+        locations = []
+        for level in (1, -sys.maxsize - 1):
+            with self.module.catch_warnings(record=True) as w:
+                self.module.simplefilter("always")
+                self.module.warn("spam", stacklevel=level)
+                locations.append((w[-1].filename, w[-1].lineno))
+        self.assertEqual(locations[0], locations[1])
+

Add regression coverage in the existing stacklevel tests for the signed minimum,
comparing its warning filename and line number with stacklevel=1 from the same
call site. Use a target-portable expression for isize::MIN and leave
setup_context’s current frame-walk behavior unchanged.
