- Target: C++
- Visual Studio 2022
Compilation of `atn\PredictionContextMergeCacheOptions.h` on x32 system throws warning C4244 on line 51 (`getClearEveryN()`):
```
Conversion from "const uint64_t" to "size_t", possible loss of data.
```
Destination type is 32 bit, overflow may occur due to implicit cast.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with atn\PredictionContextMergeCacheOptions.h, especially getClearEveryN() at line 51, and reproduce the C4244 warning using the C++ target on a 32-bit build with Visual Studio 2022. Review the uint64_t-to-size_t conversion and verify the warning is gone without overflow-related behavior being introduced.
