New submission from Bradley Froehle: I tried to implement a custom extension type using PyType_FromSpec and Py_LIMITED_API but couldn't implement tp_dealloc:
static void mytype_dealloc(mytypeobject *self) { // free some fields in mytypeobject Py_TYPE(self)->tp_free((PyObject *) self); // XXX } The line marked XXX will not compile in Py_LIMITED_API because there is no access to the fields of PyTypeObject. There doesn't seem to be any function in the API which just calls tp_free. I suggest the addition of an API function (to be included in Py_LIMITED_API): void PyType_GenericDealloc(PyObject *self) { Py_TYPE(self)->tp_free(self); } ---------- messages: 181689 nosy: bfroehle priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Py_LIMITED_API needs a PyType_GenericDealloc type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17162> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
