There are tons of C/C++ codes that use `int` for every type of integer, including indexing arrays and storing pointer values. A relic of the time where everything was 32-bit. It is common on Unix system as well. When you compile C/C++ library, a Python c-extension, there are usually many warnings about integer truncation.
