UBSan with -fsanitize=implicit-integer-truncation found a suspicious one:
/scratch2/izbyshev/cpython/Modules/cjkcodecs/_codecs_jp.c:43:17: runtime error: implicit conversion from type 'unsigned int' of value 4294966013 (32-bit, unsigned) to type 'unsigned char' changed the value to 253 (8-bit, unsigned)

Indeed, the wrong constant was used (the correct one is used in corresponding decoder code at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/fd512d76456b65c529a5bc58d8cfe73e4a10de7a/Modules/cjkcodecs/_codecs_jp.c#L105). In this case the truncation was harmless because only the lowest byte of the wrong result was used, and it was correct. But it probably makes sense to fix it if only to reduce noise from UBSan.

All Python versions are affected, but I've marked 3.8 only since I'm not sure what the policy for backporting such changes is.

Maybe add asserts in OUTBYTE1() and similar macros to prevent similar errors in future?

I like the idea. Make sure that: 0 <= ch <= 255?
msg329514 - (view) Author: Alexey Izbyshev (izbyshev) * (Python triager) Date: 2018-11-09 13:44
I've added 'assert' to macros. Since 'typeof' seems to be disallowed in Python, I've used 'unsigned int' as the type of an intermediate variable. 
Another alternative is 'assert(0 <= (c) && (c) <= 255)', but 'c' will be evaluated several times.
msg329515 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2018-11-09 13:50
Converting to unsigned int can unnecessary widen the value or truncate higher bits. On other side, testing "0 <= (c)" can emit a compiler warning if c is unsigned.

Maybe test "Py_CHARMASK(c) == (c)"?

> Maybe test "Py_CHARMASK(c) == (c)"?

This is a good alternative if multiple evaluation of 'c' is acceptable. Though I'd prefer '(unsigned char)c == c' for this style of fixing because it is bit closer to what happens in '((*outbuf)[i]) = c'.
msg329520 - (view) Author: Alexey Izbyshev (izbyshev) * (Python triager) Date: 2018-11-09 14:27
I've checked than other macros in Modules/cjkcodecs/cjkcodecs.h don't avoid multiple argument evaluation (e.g. OUTCHAR2, _TRYMAP_ENC), so I've changed 'assert' to a variant of what Serhiy suggested.
msg329521 - (view) Author: Alexey Izbyshev (izbyshev) * (Python triager) Date: 2018-11-09 14:35
OUTCHAR2 is a wrong example. Other examples are NEXT_IN, NEXT_OUT.
