New issue 2397: PyPy should export REFCNT_FROM_PYPY
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2397/pypy-should-export-refcnt_from_pypy
mattip:
Numpy has this test, which raises on CPython
```
#!python
x = np.array([[1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]])
y = x.view('int8')
x.resize(5,1)
```
The reason it raises, is this code
```
#!c
int refcnt = self->ob_refcnt;
if ((refcnt > 2)
{
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_ValueError,
"cannot resize an array that "\
"references or is referenced\n"\
"by another array in this way. Use the resize function");
return NULL;
}
```
``refcnt`` is 3 when ``x.resize`` is called; 1 from `x = ...`, 1 from
``y=x...`` and 1 from the C code being inside a function (CPython increfs all
function arguments on ``__call__``)
The test does not raise the error on PyPy, ``self.ob_refcnt`` is
2305843009213693953L, which when cast to int is 1. Possible fix:
* export rawrefcount.REFCNT_FROM_PYPY to a header
* change the assigment of refcnt to
``refcnt = (self.ob_refcnt > REFCNT_FROM_PYPY ? self.ob_refcnt -
REFCNT_FROM_PYPY : self.ob_refcnt;``
* change the limit for the test to 2 (1 from ``x=...`` and one from ``y=x...``
The changes would be inside an ``#ifdef PYPY_VERSION``
Opinions?
