Summary

Match CPython 3.15's platform-dependent integer digit limit for left shifts. On 32-bit WASI, 2**62 << 2**62 now raises OverflowError: too many digits in integer rather than MemoryError.

  • Derive the 32-bit digit limit from Py_ssize_t and CPython's three-word header/u32 digit layout; preserve the existing 64-bit bound.
  • Check the shift fits usize before allocation preflight.
  • Cover boundary carries, signed operands, large counts and exception messages. Restore builtin_int to WASI CI.

Reference: CPython 3.15 MAX_LONG_DIGITS and long_lshift.

Validation

  • CPython 3.15.1: complete builtin_int.py passed.
  • WASI / Wasmer 7.5.0, current CI feature set: builtin_int.py and a focused 32-bit boundary/precedence matrix passed.
  • WASI: -X frozen_modules=off -m test test_long passed (47 run, 7 existing skips).
  • Changed-file pre-commit checks and actionlint passed.
  • Zizmor: no high or medium findings; full scan reports the same four low self-repository findings as untouched main.
  • Native release build, builtin_int.py, focused CPython/RustPython pytest (2 passed), and -m test test_long (47 run, 7 existing skips) passed.
  • Native workspace tests/doctests passed (1542 passed, 20 ignored); separate C-API tests passed (149 passed, 2 ignored). Workspace and separate C-API Clippy both passed with -D warnings.
  • Full native extra_tests pytest: 491 passed, 20 failed. The failures cover sandbox socket/process restrictions, filesystem behavior, the local CPython installation's missing test package and expectation mismatches, and _sqlite3 not being enabled in the default RustPython build. This aggregate is not fully green.
  • At 2026-11-11 16:06 UTC, CI and CodSpeed for 38d813fba31b971d707144a8f34eec962ae92d68 remain queued; pyperformance was skipped.

Based directly on main. The adjacent exclusion-list edits in #9804 produce a small merge conflict whichever PR lands second; resolve by retaining the removals from both PRs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Integer left shifts now apply platform-appropriate size limits, helping prevent allocation-size overflow on 32-bit systems.
    • Oversized shifts continue to report overflow or memory errors as appropriate. Negative shift counts consistently report a value error, including when the integer is zero.
  • Tests
    • Added checks for integer left-shift limits and error handling across boundary cases.

Use CPython's allocation-derived digit bound on 32-bit targets while preserving the 64-bit bit-count bound. Reject shifts that cannot fit usize before the allocation preflight, cover overflow boundaries and messages, and restore the builtin_int WASI snippet.

Walkthrough

inner_lshift now calculates its digit limit based on platform size. Boundary tests cover allocation and overflow errors, as well as negative shift counts. The WASI workflow no longer excludes the builtin_int snippet.

Changes: Integer left-shift capacity checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capacity checks, boundary tests, and WASI enablement
crates/vm/src/builtins/int.rs, extra_tests/snippets/builtin_int.py, .github/workflows/ci.yaml
inner_lshift uses a platform-specific digit limit. Tests check boundary errors for multiple bases and verify that negative shifts raise ValueError. The WASI exclusion list no longer excludes builtin_int.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related PRs

  • RustPython/RustPython#9745: Updates the same integer snippet tests and excludes the snippet from WASI because oversized shifts returned MemoryError.

Suggested reviewers: 1ndahous3, jiwahn

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 38d81

The change aligns integer left-shift overflow behavior with CPython on 32-bit platforms and re-enables the builtin_int WASI snippet. No merge-blocking risk was identified. The pending native and CI checks should still complete as usual.

Test the accepted boundary on 32-bit RustPython.

On 32-bit platforms, every tested boundary shift exceeds the limit. A limit that is one digit too small would therefore pass these tests.

Add a RustPython-only check for _last_shift that expects MemoryError. The shift exceeds usize, so this check does not allocate the result.
