New submission from STINNER Victor: "del list[start:stop:step]" instruction doesn't handle list_resize() failure when step != 1.
Attached patch notifies the caller that list_resize() fails. On case of failure, the list is modified (items are deleted), it's just that list buffer could be smaller (it wastes memory). See also issue #19568 which is similar for bytearray. ---------- files: list_ass_subscript.patch keywords: patch messages: 202808 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: del list[a:b:c] doesn't handle correctly list_resize() failure versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file32607/list_ass_subscript.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19578> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
