New submission from STINNER Victor: I would like to deprecate PyUnicode_AsUnicode(), see the issue #22271 for the rationale (hint: memory footprint).
To deprecate PyUnicode_AsUnicode(), we should stop using it internally. The attached patch is a work-in-progress patch, untested on Windows (only tested on Linux). It gives an idea of how many files should be modified. TODO: * Modify posixmodule.c: I don't understand how the Argument Clinic generates the call to PyUnicode_AsUnicode() when the parameter type is declared as "unicode". What is the "unicode" type? Where is the code generating the call to PyUnicode_AsUnicode()? * Modify a few other files. ---------- files: wchar.patch keywords: patch messages: 226247 nosy: haypo, loewis priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Use PyUnicode_AsWideCharString() instead of PyUnicode_AsUnicode() type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file36522/wchar.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22324> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
