Kristján Valur Jónsson added the comment: These macros work as assignment with builtin decref, i.e. a smart replacement for = We could resolve this by calling them Py_ASSIGN Py_XASSIGN and having complementary macros Py_STORE/Py_XSTORE that will incref the new value.
However, with an added incref, does the X apply to the source or the target? I wonder if we need the X variants in these macros. Once you are doing things like this, why not just use X implicitly? An extra pointer test or two is unlikely to be a performance problem in the places you might use them. Anyway, I'll be adding this to the internal api of stackless because it is tremendously useful. ---------- nosy: +kristjan.jonsson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20440> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
