The variable in the python script is (signed) integer.
So overflow doesn't happen.
The code may work even if width < IF_CROP_MAX_W (I don't check the code any
more than it)?
On the other hand, our code doesn't work because the following while-loop
doesn't loop..?
I see your point. It is the best to set the minimum allowed value after we
get their feedback.
But, hmm, shall we set it to IF_ALIGN_W as the temporary workaround to the
overflow with todo comment?
Well, since the code of causing the overflow is in top-of-tree, I don't
mind merging this.
