It is not required since, as you say, m68k only requires 2-byte alignment. However, as Serhiy said, it may (or may not) be better for performance. At this point, only people with access to a m68k machine or VM (and motivated enough :-)) can do the necessary tests and propose a way forward. (but, performance notwithstanding, fixing the build should be a simple matter of silencing the assert with an appropriate #if line) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17237> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
