Thanks for the investigation. I didn't know about C99 Standard 6.7.8.21. That's a useful and sensible extension to the language. In my opinion it is neither useful to extend the Py_buffer struct with a version tag nor to force users to allocate the struct on the heap. The current design has worked for over 13 years. Any deviation from the established design poses a risk to break 3rd party software. I could be convinced to add PyBuffer_New() and PyBuffer_Free() as additional feature, but their use should be optional. The function were part of my first PR GH-29035. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45459> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
