On a 32 bit architecture the size of int is 32 bits. Thus converting from
int64, uint64 can overflow it and flip the sign.
Try for yourself in playground:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
x := int64(0x1F0000001)
y := int64(1)
z := int32(x - y) // numerically this is 0x1F0000000
fmt.Printf("%v\n", z)
}
Prints -268435456 as if x was smaller.
