Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Thomas Heller (theller) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Reintroduce index checking in 1-element ctypes arrays Initial Comment: This patch removes the special casing of 1-sized arrays in ctypes. Currently, 1-sized arrays do *no* index checking in indexing or slicing operations. The idea was to have 1-sized arrays operate as variable sized data types. It was a bad idea, as it turns out, since it breaks a very common pattern: iterating over arrays. All this code would have to be special cased when the size of the array is one. According to a RFC on the ctypes-users list it seems that nobody uses this feature, which is not astonishing since it was only very recently added. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1521817&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
