New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com>:
When Python is built in debug mode, PyObject gets 2 new fields: _ob_prev and _ob_next. These fields change the offset of following fields in the PyObject structure and so breaks the ABI. I propose to modify the debug build (Py_DEBUG) to not imply Py_TRACE_REFS anymore. Antoine Pitrou proposed this idea when the C API was discussed to get a stable ABI. Another more radical idea is to completely remove Py_TRACE_REFS special build. ---------- components: Build messages: 339079 nosy: pitrou, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: No longer enable Py_TRACE_REFS by default in debug build versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36465> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
