So that means it's fine to remove all locking related functionality from the new buffer protocol and leave everything to application space, right?
Not quite all of it -- the buffer needs to be considered as locked against moving between calls to getbuffer and releasebuffer, and providers that can move their memory need to keep a count of outstanding getbuffer calls. All the locking-related flags can go, though, since there is only one kind of lock and it's implied by the getbuffer call itself. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
