New submission from Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de>:
Freelists are an optimization trick to avoid allocation and deallocation of commonly used structures. Currently Python has freelists for frame, tuple, float, list, dict, async generators, and context objects. Small ints are also cached. For experimentation with alternative memory allocators such as mimalloc, I would like to introduce a way to disable freelists. Tuples's _Py_tuple_state struct has a conditional check on #if PyTuple_MAXSAVESIZE > 0. I propose to add same logic to all other structs. ---------- assignee: christian.heimes components: C API messages: 404289 nosy: christian.heimes priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Allow to build Python without freelists type: enhancement versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45522> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
