James Antill added the comment: Guido: It's true that that len can be slightly bigger than x*y, the big thing is that it can't be smaller so we can malloc(len) and use upto x*y (which was my main focus). I first looked at any of this code today, but I didn't see any reason that having len be slightly larger would be a problem ... and in pretty much all cases it'll be len == x*y.
However we could have both cases covered by doing: if ( (len != x*y) || (x != (len / y)) ) ...but esp. at that point it seems like we'd want some interface so that we could just do something like: if ( check_mutliplies2(len, x, y) ) __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1179> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
