[New-bugs-announce] [issue16086] tp_flags: Undefined behaviour with 32 bits long

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

"1L << 31" is undefined if long is 32 bits long. We should use unsigned long for PyTypeObject.tp_flags.

Attached patch implements this fix. I don't know if it breaks somehow the backward compatibility.

See also issues #1621 and #7406.
