In summary.c, in function 'isum', the loop is 'ITERATE_BY_REGION' that contains 
'for' loop
for (int k = 0; k < nbatch; k++)
It is since SVN revision 73445, in released R since version 3.5.0.
Previously, the loop is
for (R_xlen_t i = 0; i < n; i++)

Inside 'ITERATE_BY_REGION', the type of the index, 'k', should still be 
'R_xlen_t' as previously. If 'sx' is a regular vector (not ALTREP), data 
pointer is taken and 'nbatch' is the length of the vector, like without 
'ITERATE_BY_REGION'. With 64-bit R, it is possible that the vector is a long 
vector. In that case, correct iteration should reach index outside the range of 
'int'.

However, I haven't found an example in 64-bit R of wrong behavior of
sum(x)
for 'x' with storage mode "integer" and length 2^31 or more.
