Hey all, (I hope this list isn't dead.)
I'm reading up on the Cython codebase because I'm trying to implement a small feature (more on that later). There's one thing that really confuses me currently, and that's the distinction between generate_post_assignment_code and generate_disposal_code. From the comments, it appears that exactly one of these should be called, and which one it is depends on whether a reference from the rhs was absorbed into the lhs. So much for the theory, but in practice it seems to work differently. I'm looking at NameNode.generate_assignment_code() and IndexNode.generate_assignment_code(), which should do similar things (generate code for an assignment) except that the lhs has different structure. Yet they treat the cleanup of the rhs completely differently. IndexNode always calls rhs.generate_disposal_code. NameNode almost always calls rhs.generate_post_assignment_code. Can anyone shed light on why this cleanup is handled differently depending on the target of the assignment? Thanks, Clemens _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
