But when `sizeof(int) == sizeof(long)` (such as on Windows), then it returns `4`. So the behavior changes from a call to `rb_fix2int()` to a raw shift without any checks. I think it should be consistent between platforms. Also, the code in ruby.h defining FIX2INT is fairly complicated with conditions like `#if SIZEOF_INT < SIZEOF_LONG` spanning many lines, which makes it fairly hard to follow. See https://github.com/ruby/spec/blob/c661c0ba6a602be6e06768a319bd7d87b2a8eda6/optional/capi/fixnum_spec.rb and https://ci.appveyor.com/project/eregon/spec-x948i/builds/21753809/job/ed8e8k97m8syp4r7 for more differences. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
