I am asking for my curiosity(to become familiar with cpython); How does casting the result of 1<<log2_size to size_t fix the overflow in the dict?

1 is int. And int is 32bit on most platforms. So 1 << 32 will overflow.
Here is example:

$ cat x.c #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define USABLE_FRACTION(n) (((n) << 1)/3) int main() { size_t x = USABLE_FRACTION(1 << 31); size_t y = USABLE_FRACTION((size_t)1 << 31); printf("x=%zd y=%zd\n", x, y); } $ gcc x.c && ./a.out x.c:7:16: warning: shifting a negative signed value is undefined [-Wshift-negative-value] size_t x = USABLE_FRACTION(1 << 31); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ x.c:4:34: note: expanded from macro 'USABLE_FRACTION' #define USABLE_FRACTION(n) (((n) << 1)/3) ~~~ ^ 1 warning generated. x=0 y=1431655765

Thanks!
