We don't need direct C APIs to get at a bigint representation of PyLong but we do want the few people who need to understand how. Additional Author: CAM-Gerlach

Integer Objects
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
.. index:: object: long integer
|
|
object: integer
|
|
|
|
All integers are implemented as "long" integer objects of arbitrary size.
|
|
|
|
On error, most ``PyLong_As*`` APIs return ``(return type)-1`` which cannot be
|
|
distinguished from a number. Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.
|
|
|
|
.. c:type:: PyLongObject
|
|
|
|
This subtype of :c:type:`PyObject` represents a Python integer object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyLong_Type
|
|
|
|
This instance of :c:type:`PyTypeObject` represents the Python integer type.
|
|
This is the same object as :class:`int` in the Python layer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyLong_Check(PyObject *p)
|
|
|
|
Return true if its argument is a :c:type:`PyLongObject` or a subtype of
|
|
:c:type:`PyLongObject`. This function always succeeds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyLong_CheckExact(PyObject *p)
|
|
|
|
Return true if its argument is a :c:type:`PyLongObject`, but not a subtype of
|
|
:c:type:`PyLongObject`. This function always succeeds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromLong(long v)
|
|
|
|
Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from *v*, or ``NULL`` on failure.
|
|
|
|
The current implementation keeps an array of integer objects for all integers
|
|
between ``-5`` and ``256``. When you create an int in that range you actually
|
|
just get back a reference to the existing object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromUnsignedLong(unsigned long v)
|
|
|
|
Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from a C :c:expr:`unsigned long`, or
|
|
``NULL`` on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromSsize_t(Py_ssize_t v)
|
|
|
|
Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from a C :c:type:`Py_ssize_t`, or
|
|
``NULL`` on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromSize_t(size_t v)
|
|
|
|
Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from a C :c:type:`size_t`, or
|
|
``NULL`` on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromLongLong(long long v)
|
|
|
|
Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from a C :c:expr:`long long`, or ``NULL``
|
|
on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromUnsignedLongLong(unsigned long long v)
|
|
|
|
Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from a C :c:expr:`unsigned long long`,
|
|
or ``NULL`` on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromDouble(double v)
|
|
|
|
Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from the integer part of *v*, or
|
|
``NULL`` on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromString(const char *str, char **pend, int base)
|
|
|
|
Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` based on the string value in *str*, which
|
|
is interpreted according to the radix in *base*, or ``NULL`` on failure. If
|
|
*pend* is non-``NULL``, *\*pend* will point to the end of *str* on success or
|
|
to the first character that could not be processed on error. If *base* is ``0``,
|
|
*str* is interpreted using the :ref:`integers` definition; in this case, leading
|
|
zeros in a non-zero decimal number raises a :exc:`ValueError`. If *base* is not
|
|
``0``, it must be between ``2`` and ``36``, inclusive. Leading and trailing
|
|
whitespace and single underscores after a base specifier and between digits are
|
|
ignored. If there are no digits or *str* is not NULL-terminated following the
|
|
digits and trailing whitespace, :exc:`ValueError` will be raised.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso:: Python methods :meth:`int.to_bytes` and :meth:`int.from_bytes`
|
|
to convert a :c:type:`PyLongObject` to/from an array of bytes in base
|
|
``256``. You can call those from C using :c:func:`PyObject_CallMethod`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromUnicodeObject(PyObject *u, int base)
|
|
|
|
Convert a sequence of Unicode digits in the string *u* to a Python integer
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.3
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromVoidPtr(void *p)
|
|
|
|
Create a Python integer from the pointer *p*. The pointer value can be
|
|
retrieved from the resulting value using :c:func:`PyLong_AsVoidPtr`.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
(if present) to convert it to a :c:type:`PyLongObject`.
|

|
|
Raise :exc:`OverflowError` if the value of *obj* is out of range for a

|
:c:expr:`long`.

|
.. c:function:: long PyLong_AsLongAndOverflow(PyObject *obj, int *overflow)
|
|
|
|
Return a C :c:expr:`long` representation of *obj*. If *obj* is not an
|
|
instance of :c:type:`PyLongObject`, first call its :meth:`__index__`
|
|
method (if present) to convert it to a :c:type:`PyLongObject`.
|
|
|
|
If the value of *obj* is greater than :const:`LONG_MAX` or less than
|
|
:const:`LONG_MIN`, set *\*overflow* to ``1`` or ``-1``, respectively, and
|
|
return ``-1``; otherwise, set *\*overflow* to ``0``. If any other exception
|
|
occurs set *\*overflow* to ``0`` and return ``-1`` as usual.
|
|
|
|
Returns ``-1`` on error. Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.
