/* **************************************************************************
I have to do some guessing about types, mostly with regard to key_t. Since I
schlep these values back and forth between C and Python, I need to know
approximately what types these represent so that I can call the appropriate
Python function to convert them to Python values (e.g. PyInt_FromLong(),
PyFloat_FromDouble(), etc.)

For most of these types the SUSv3 specification states that they're
integer-ish which means I can stuff them into a long and not worry. The macros
below safely convert each type and above each macro I document why my type
assumptions are safe.

Unfortunately, key_t is an exception. The SUSv3 specification doesn't get more
detailed than saying it is "arithmetic", which includes signed and unsigned
short, int, long, long long, float and double (but thankfully excludes
pointers). I feel I can safely ignore long long since support for it is far
from ubiquitous.

Ideally I would cast key_t to double and call PyWhatever_FromDouble() when
sending values to Python. Representing it as a double would ensure no data
loss regardless of whether it is typedef-ed as int, long, float, etc.

In practice, this would be awkward. I have yet to see a platform where
key_t is not integer-ish, so most or all users of this library would be
surprised if it returned keys as floats.

So I store keys as key_t types and cast them to long when Python forces
me to be specific. The two disadvantages to this are, (1) if any platforms
typedef key_t as a float or double, this code will break, and (2) KEY_MIN
and KEY_MAX don't represent the real min and max of keys.

Point #1 is mitigated somewhat because if any OS typedefs key_t as float or
double, this code should complain loudly during compilation.

Typedefs of key_t (for 32 bit systems):
OpenSolaris 2008.11 - int
OS X 10.5.8 - __int32_t (int)
Ubuntu 9.04 - int
Freebsd - l_int (int)
