Kristján Valur Jónsson <krist...@ccpgames.com> added the comment: I just noticed that PyTypeObjects have a gc slot already: inquiry tp_is_gc; /* For PyObject_IS_GC */
Now, this is used in only one place in 2.7, for type objects: return type->tp_flags & Py_TPFLAGS_HEAPTYPE; This is thus used to dynamically query if an object was allocated with a GC header or not, since static types cannot have this. Now, it would be perfectly possible to change the semantics of this function to return a bit flag, with bit 0 being the "has head" and bit 1 meaning "is collectable" This might simplify some stuff. Any thoughts? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9141> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
