This patch fixes an issue with iup not resolving, although I do not fully understand the problem.
Basically: in comparing our implementation with the one in fonttools, there is clear divergence in some of the numerical code, where we are using Option in places where python is just using an integer. More importantly, we are using None where Python is using -1, but our comparison code is never checking if a value == None, whereas python does check if a value == -1, which means that python is setting the solution in cases where we are not.
This can be fixed by using
checked_sub
instead ofsaturating_sub
, at least for this input.It feels like this is probably fine, since the structure of this loop is such that the only negative value that is possible is -1 (at the start) but it feels a little loose.
