Description

This PR addresses the following issues for calculating the validity when creating a SpanContext:

  • validity calculation for trace ID was off by one, so the maximum value for the trace ID (2^128 -1) was actually considered invalid.
  • span IDs were not checked if they exceed the maximum allowed value of 2^64 - 1.
  • negative values for trace and span IDs were considered valid although they are actually outside the valid range of values due to how python handles signed numbers.

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

How Has This Been Tested?
