That works if the operating system doesn't go too wild in > address space randomization, though ;-) I don't know that it's a real problem, but if it is I'm sure you know of efficient ways to implement sparse sets (for example, picture Python's set implementation, but slimmed down to handle just C uint64 members). I was hoping to spur a discussion of much higher level issues. I bet Larry was too ;-) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
