Good question. A simple counter is the only thing we can enable by default, though. Anything else would require recompiling Python, which is probably a barrier for most users. > Did you already found real leaks using your hack^Wpatch? (was > c6dafa2e2594 found by your tool?) yes, c6dafa2e2594 was found with this patch. It's the only one, though (there's also a leak in test_ctypes but I don't want to investigate :-)). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13390> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
