[issue1646068] Dict lookups fail if sizeof(Py_ssize_t) < sizeof(long)

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Responding to Antoine question, I don't understand how you would use a union here.  Certainly you cannot define Py_dicthashcache_t as a union of long and Py_ssize_t because it will not be able to easily assign long or Py_ssize_t values to it. I don't think ANSI C allows a cast from integer type to a union.

I am OK with the patch, but if this goes into 2.7/3.x, I think the same change should be applied to the set type.
