Definitely a problem! But I'm not sure what the 'right' behavior here would
be. sz
can't be 2^32 because that's too big to fit in 32 bits.
But I'm confused how this could occur in practice. Do you have a machine where
size_t is 32 bits but you can address more than 32 bits of memory? If not, how
are
youu planning to get more than 2^31 elements in your hashtable?
I'm trying to understand what the right thing to do here is. I could make sz
always
be 64 bits, but that seems wrong -- it should really be size_type. I guess I
could
just make construction fail somehow if you pass in something > |size_type| / 2?
What particular use-case brought this up?

I'm not sure either what the right behaviour should be. When inserting a delete
key the hashtable fails with an
assert, perhaps this would also be an option here.
This came up by accident, I was initializing the hashtable with an unspecified
value (doh!) and it happened to
be initialized with 3.2 billion. The program was unresponsive and I had no idea
why until I debugged it,
getting a crash would have told me where the problem was.
I don't think there is a valid use case for asking for more than 2^31 elements
in your table, since they would
have to occupy 4 bytes each (otherwise there aren't enough distinct ones to
fill the table), in which case you've
exhausted the memory. So in my opinion, failing with an assert is the best
thing to do in this situation.

Gotcha. Makes sense to me. I'll add an overflow assert() in the next release,
so at
least in debug mode you'll die rather than go into an infinite loop.

This should be resolved in sparsehash 1.6, just released.
