Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:
There hasn't been much said about which kind of objects would be immortal. Could this be a creation-time option? Or a type object (similar to a no-op tp_dealloc)? If it's something that is known when the object is created, then some of the "infection" concern can be reduced - but if you wanted to arbitrarily make arbitrary objects immortal dynamically then it's a different matter. Another benefit of knowing at creation time is that immortal objects could be allocated to a different page (or potentially even to read-only shared memory, if that was appropriate). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40255> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
