7.4.1 Plain Integer Objects
- PyIntObject
- This subtype of PyObject represents a Python integer object.
- PyTypeObject PyInt_Type
- This instance of PyTypeObject represents the Python plain integer type. This is the same object as
types.IntType.
- int PyInt_Check (PyObject* o)
- Return value: Borrowed reference.Returns true if o is of type PyInt_Type.
- PyObject* PyInt_FromLong (long ival)
- Return value: New reference.Creates a new integer object with a value of ival. The current implementation keeps an array of integer objects for all integers between
-1and100, when you create an int in that range you actually just get back a reference to the existing object. So it should be possible to change the value of1. I suspect the behaviour of Python in this case is undefined. :-)
- long PyInt_AsLong (PyObject *io)
- Will first attempt to cast the object to a PyIntObject, if it is not already one, and then return its value.
- long PyInt_AS_LONG (PyObject *io)
- Returns the value of the object io. No error checking is performed.
- long PyInt_GetMax ()
- Returns the system's idea of the largest integer it can handle (LONG_MAX, as defined in the system header files).
