Getting this error on gem install nio4r using an Apple M1 computer with Ruby 3.0.6

The value of a long type is being assigned to an int type, which may result in the loss of data. By casting the bytes_read and bytes_written variable to an int type, this will ensure that the bytes_read and bytes_written value is truncated to fit in the range of an int type, and prevent any loss of data, which fixes this error.

Locally, I was able to install this gem on my Apple M1 with Ruby 3.0.6 with these changes.

I'm not a C programmer, so please scrutinize.

At this point we can assume the number is positive. So, what about using something like SIZET2NUM?
