Malloc casts may be hard to defend, but most of python code base already has them, there is little to be gained from having these casts in some places and not others. There are other design flaws that a C++ compiler may help to catch. Two examples that come to mind are use of void* where a typed pointer is a better match and declaring external functions in .c file instead of including an appropriate header. In most cases keeping in mind compliance with C++ leads to better design, not to uglier code. With respect to the OP's issue, I have added another patch to http://bugs.python.org/issue4805 . _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
