New submission from Martina Oefelein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The first use of PySet_GET_SIZE in dict_fromkeys (file dictobject.c) is applied to a PyDictObject. These seem to work by chance, as the PyDictObject and PySetObject have very similar structure so that it does not matter if you cast a PyDictObject* to a PySetObject*. But if their structure ever diverges, this would cause unpredictable behaviour.
Thus, this use of PySet_GET_SIZE should probably be replaced with a call of PyDict_Size. (There are two more calls to PySet_GET_SIZE resp. _PySet_NextEntry in the same function, but these are OK as they actually apply to a set.) ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 68914 nosy: oefe severity: normal status: open title: dictobject.c: inappropriate use of PySet_GET_SIZE? _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3230> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
