New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: In issue28959 Raymond said that a dict structure can be switched to PyVarObject. Victor guessed that it makes sense to switch a set structure too. Proposed patch implements this. The layout of a dict structure is not changed. The number of used and filled entries in a set structure are swapped, therefore extensions that use PySet_GET_SIZE or access fields of PySetObject directly (both are not in a stable API) should be recompiled.
I don't see a benefit from this patch except some unification. ---------- assignee: rhettinger components: Extension Modules files: dict-set-var-object.patch keywords: patch messages: 283404 nosy: haypo, rhettinger, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Switch dict and set structures to PyVarObject type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file45925/dict-set-var-object.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28988> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
