1 [section boost/python/ssize_t.hpp]
3 Python 2.5 introduces a new `Py_ssize_t` typedef and two related macros ([@http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0353/ PEP 353]). The <boost/python/ssize_t.hpp> header imports these definitions into the `boost::python` namespace as `ssize_t`, `ssize_t_max`, and `ssize_t_min`. Appropriate definitions are provided for backward compatibility with previous Python versions.
6 Imports `Py_ssize_t` into the `boost::python` namespace if available, or provides an appropriate typedef for backward compatibility:
8 #if PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x02050000
9 typedef Py_ssize_t ssize_t;
16 Imports `PY_SSIZE_T_MAX` and `PY_SSIZE_T_MIN` as constants into the `boost::python` namespace if available, or provides appropriate constants for backward compatibility:
18 #if PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x02050000
19 ssize_t const ssize_t_max = PY_SSIZE_T_MAX;
20 ssize_t const ssize_t_min = PY_SSIZE_T_MIN;
22 ssize_t const ssize_t_max = INT_MAX;
23 ssize_t const ssize_t_min = INT_MIN;
