IMO: - The "native" format should use native _Bool, and we should only test unpacking 0 and 1 - The "standard" format should use portable char semantics: continue to treat any non-zero value as true - The docs should grow a warning that for the native format of '?', representation of true/false depends on the platform/compiler. But what is "format"? The docs talk about size, alignment and byte order; bool representation is a slightly different concept. I'm not sure if it should follow Byte order or Size/Alignment: I think that the latter would be better (so only "@" uses the native _Bool semantics, but "=" uses portable char semantics), but it might be be harder to implement. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39689> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
