The test (size > (size_t)PY_SSIZE_T_MAX)) has nothing to do with it. Within Python, most sizes are ssize_t, so a value larger than SSIZE_MAX is suspicious.


AIX is an unsupported platform.

Realistically, if people want AIX to be supported, someone has to give core devs full ssh access to an AIX system.

Perhaps I'll just skip this test on AIX.
