[issue22939] integer overflow in iterator object

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren added the comment:

Is it necessary to raise when it_index is PY_SSIZE_T_MAX? 

An alternative is to set it_index to -1 when there would be overflow and raise an exception on the next call to next(). That way a virtual sequence with PY_SSIZE_T_MAX-1 items would still work (instead of failing unexpectedly).
