IntegerCastOutOfRangeLiteral

warning native on by default

Group: Probable bugs

An integer string outside the supported integer range cannot be preserved by an integer cast. Keep it as a string or use arbitrary precision.

Example

<?php
$id=(int)"999999999999999999999999";

Reported:

• line 2: Preserve integers that exceed the supported integer range.

Detection

• An int cast receives a literal signed decimal integer string beyond signed 64-bit range. Compare digits textually; exclude exponent/fraction notation and values merely beyond 32-bit range.
• Resolve builtin functions, classes, constants and methods; user-defined lookalikes are excluded. Follow only bounded local proof in one lexical scope.
• Emit one finding per violating operation, not per supporting evidence statement. When the proof is inconclusive, nothing is reported.

Exceptions (no report)

• Do not report unresolved or shadowed builtin names, unknown values, or incomplete receiver/type provenance. Unknown calls, aliases escaping, and intervening writes invalidate local proof. Similar code outside the stated detection contract is not a finding.
• Both standard suppression forms suppress this native ID.

Fix

None. Choosing a repair requires intent or additional runtime information.

PHP versions

Available throughout supported PHP 5.3–8.5 where the referenced builtin/extension is available. Respect syntax/version-specific receiver contracts; unavailable APIs are not this rule’s concern.

Configure

In custos.json:

{
  "rules": {
    "IntegerCastOutOfRangeLiteral": {
      "enabled": false
    }
  }
}

Suppress

Before the statement or declaration (or the first statement of the file):

// @custos-ignore IntegerCastOutOfRangeLiteral
