New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
Currently the variable PyStructSequence_UnnamedField has type "char *". It is used as a special value for setting to the name field of PyStructSequence_Field. But the type of the name field is "const char *". I propose to change the declaration of PyStructSequence_UnnamedField to "const char * const". Makes it referring to immutable character string and make it itself immutable. It is binary compatible change, but some user code can complain at compilation time if it uses PyStructSequence_UnnamedField in unusual way (assigns to the "char *" variable, etc). It is very unlikely. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 355731 nosy: serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add constantness to PyStructSequence_UnnamedField versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38650> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
