I can factually only report what is missing. Whether it can be added, I don't know. As I just wrote in a few other messages: pointers, unions, functions pointers, packed structs, incomplete/recursive types. Also "flexible array members" (i.e. open-ended arrays). While it may be possible to come up with a string syntax to describe all these things (*), I wonder whether it should be done, and whether NumArray can then support this extended data model. Regards, Martin (*) perhaps with the exception of incomplete types: C needs forward references in its own syntax. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
