STINNER Victor added the comment: Charles-François doesn't like packed structure (frame_t) because he fears crash on architectures not supporting non-aligned memory access or bad performances. Antoine and me want them to reduce the memory footprint of the tracemalloc module (tracemalloc.get_tracemalloc_memory()).
I think that the memory footprint has an higher price than the performances for tracemalloc: I can wait longer for a result, whereas I may not be able to use tracemalloc if it uses too much memory. I propose to pack frame_t structure, and only disable it explicitly on architectures where tracemalloc does crash. What do you think? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18874> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
