Sorry, morning coffee didn't kick in yet I guess. ;-) My actual wish is to make all types heap allocated and eliminate the statically allocated ones. So, Py_TPFLAGS_HEAPTYPE would be set on all types in that world. That is a gigantic task, affecting near every Python extension type. Too huge for even a nutty person like me to imagine doing in the near term. So, sorry for potentially derailing discussion here. I agree with comments made by Stefan Behnel and Petr Viktorin. There is a small risk to cause problems (i.e. serious memory leaks in a previously working program). However, as Petr says, the extension in that case is broken and it is not hard to fix. Eddie has provided examples for what changes are needed. I think if we properly communicate the change then it is okay to merge the PR. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35810> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
