[issue1953] Compact int and float freelists
Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment: I don't know what the purpose of this feature is nor who the target users are. Trying to micro-manage the interpreter's resource allocation from Python code is certainly a losing battle, and does not warrant relying on implementation-specific APIs. Moreover, these days gc.collect() implicitly collects the freelists. I therefore recommend rejecting this patch. -- nosy: +pitrou resolution: accepted - rejected ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1953 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue1953] Compact int and float freelists
Neal Norwitz added the comment: I think sys is appropriate for clearing the cache. Lib/test/regrtest.py still has a reference to gc rather than sys. Why do the CompactFreeList APIs return an int that is always 0? Seems like they should return a real value or be void. I'm not sure why you changed the functions to keep a block_list_length. I doubt this API would be requested very often. Seems like it would be better to just calculate when necessary (or perhaps not even add the APIs). The only issue I have with the patch is the casting in the printf calls. These can lose information. On Win64, long is 32-bits, but size_t is 64-bits. See PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T in Include/pyport.h for how to handle this. -- assignee: nnorwitz - tiran resolution: - accepted __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1953 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
