Kristján Valur Jónsson <krist...@ccpgames.com> added the comment: fyi, here is the thread from python-ideas:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2009-June/005042.html The parallel to C++´s future "rvalue reference" is interesting (http://www.artima.com/cppsource/rvalue.html, see the "move" application) Especially, perhaps, in light of this quote from http://evanjones.ca/rvalue-references.html, criticising the concept: "...Or add a swap member function. This is not "elegant" nor is it as general. However, this is what we've been using for decades. It also requires zero changes to C++ compilers, and requires users to learn nothing. It has been immortalized in books like Effective C++ (Item 25: Consider support for a non-throwing swap)." This, incidentally, is where the name 'swap' comes from, me being an old C++ programmer. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6326> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
