Fixes #623

RandomState.randint defaults to C-long, which is 32-bit on Windows. Specify np.int64 before converting samples to the existing floating output representation. This supports exactly representable bounds above/below the int32 range without changing the inclusive upper bound. This does not promise exact storage of arbitrary int64 values beyond float64 precision.

One parametrized regression covers a large positive range, large negative range and ordinary-range control, including endpoints, reproducibility, integral values and floating output. On untouched master af8b928 the Windows result is 2 failures / 1 control passed.

Validation (native Windows CPU, Python 3.12):

  • Full collected suite: 178 passed, 24 warnings with NumPy 2.5.3 / SciPy 1.18.1 / sklearn 1.9.1.
  • Full parameter module: 13 passed in the above environment and NumPy 1.26.4 / SciPy 1.16.3 / sklearn 1.7.2.
  • 100 seeds of ordinary-range sampling and subsequent RNG draws are identical to the old default-dtype behavior. A real BayesianOptimization.suggest call returns a Python integer within the large bounds.
  • Full configured Ruff 0.12.3 pre-commit lint/format and git diff check pass.

Linux/macOS, GPU, documentation build and gallery notebook execution were not run. The current notebook-test path collects no example notebooks, so the full collected result does not validate the gallery.

AI assistance: Codex autonomously implemented the fix and ran validation; no independent human review has occurred. Codex is recorded as a commit coauthor.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Integer parameter sampling now handles large positive and negative bounds reliably, while keeping both endpoints inclusive. Samples continue to be returned as integral-valued floats, and identical random states produce reproducible results. Sampling also preserves the expected random-state progression, so subsequent random operations remain consistent.

Current master merge validation (2026-10-02)

Merged upstream master 16132b0 into this existing PR in commit 3abdd82, preserving both the large integer sampling regression and the independently merged categorical batch-row regression. Current merged head: full CPU suite 179 passed, NumPy 1.26 parameter module 14 passed, full configured pre-commit Ruff lint/format and staged diff check passed. Earlier 178-test evidence above belongs to the previous head. This maintenance update does not claim independent human review, docs/gallery validation, or Linux/macOS execution.

Scope of the int64 endpoint

The latest automated review identified that an upper bound equal to np.iinfo(np.int64).max overflows in the existing high + 1 expression. I reproduced the same RuntimeWarning and ValueError: low >= high on untouched master af8b928 and this PR head with NumPy 1.26.4. That endpoint is outside this PR's stated exactly representable float64 range, and fixing inclusive sampling across the full signed-64-bit domain needs a separate sampling design; this patch does not claim to fix it. The new regression focuses on the Windows C-long bug while preserving ordinary-range RNG behavior.

Walkthrough

IntParameter.random_sample requests np.int64 values from randint before converting samples to floats. The inclusive upper bound and float output remain unchanged. Tests cover large positive and negative bounds, reproducibility, and random-state consistency.

Sampling fails when an integer parameter’s inclusive upper bound is the maximum int64 value. The failure is limited to this boundary, but it should be handled before merging.

90-101: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Compare the ordinary-range result and next RNG draw with the base behavior.

ensure_rng preserves the supplied RandomState, but the test only compares two fresh states. A deterministic reordering of the sampled values could pass all current assertions while breaking compatibility with the previous randint sequence. The test also does not check the subsequent RNG state.

Suggested fix
-    samples = parameter.random_sample(100, random_state=np.random.RandomState(42))
+    random_state = np.random.RandomState(42)
+    samples = parameter.random_sample(100, random_state=random_state)
     repeated = parameter.random_sample(100, random_state=np.random.RandomState(42))
     assert samples.dtype == np.dtype(float)
     np.testing.assert_array_equal(samples, repeated)
+    if bounds == (0, 5):
+        reference_state = np.random.RandomState(42)
+        expected = reference_state.randint(bounds[0], bounds[1] + 1, 100).astype(float)

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle the maximum int64 upper bound before computing high + 1.

TargetSpace.make_params accepts 9223372036854775807 and stores it as np.int64. IntParameter.random_sample then computes self.bounds[1] + 1, which overflows to the minimum int64 value. RandomState.randint receives an invalid interval and raises instead of sampling. Use an overflow-safe inclusive sampler for this endpoint before adding one.
