In CPython we have reference counting. My question is can we optimize current RC using strategies like Deferred RC and Coalescing? If no then where would I face problem if I try to implement these sorts of strategies?
These strategies all depend on the concept that we don't need the exact value of reference count all the time. So far in my observation, we only need exact value before running a cycle collector. If we can manage to make sure that we have exact value before entering the cycle collector then in my opinion we can add these optimizations strategies to some extent. Is there something that I am missing? Or It is quite possible? If not possible please tell me the factors I should consider. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/G2BCHK766Z6ABFEF5KOKC27W4VBNNVSE/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
