Ignore my last post!!!
You are confusing PEP 3118 buffers with C arrays.
You probably want this:
DEF BUF_SIZE = 32
cdef object myhash[BUF_SIZE]
which should work at module scope. This says "myhash is a C array of
object, of length BUF_SIZE."
Your statement
cdef object[int] myhash
is not a Cython syntax error, but means something else:
"object is a type that exposes a PEP 3118 Py_buffer storing C integers,
and myhash is an instance of PEP 3118 Py_buffer."
A Py_buffer can only be used inside a method because of the auxillary
variables to which it unboxes for fast array lookup. Hence the error
message.
PEP 3118 syntax is mostly used with NumPy arrays for numerical programming.
