STINNER Victor added the comment: Serhiy Storchaka: "I opened this issue because this optimization already was applied to deque (issue23553)"
Ah, change 1e89094998b2 written by Raymond Hettinger last year, Raymond who wrote (msg278397): "Don't change the code in the collections module. While semantically valid, the change obfuscates the code." :-) To stay consistent, I suggest to revert the useless micro-optimization 1e89094998b2. Python uses Py_ssize_t instead of size_t to support "i >= 0" checks", it's a deliberate choice to catch bugs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28397> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
