Delaying the write means you don't get an indication of the steps in the process; if someone is trying to debug a crash caused by corruption of the gc list (e.g. due to a bad extension module), deferring the writes means they won't see any output before the crash, where before, they'd see: gc: collecting generation 0... gc: objects in each generation: and numbers for however many gc list traversals succeeded before the corrupt entry in the gc list was hit. ---------- nosy: +josh.r _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37729> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
