I would say that the obmalloc case *shouldn't* be permissible; however, it's already there, and changing that would be an involved task that would also likely risk introducing new bugs. So I guess practicality beats purity on that one. I don't see that as an excuse for introducing *new* undefined behaviour though, especially for a small optimization. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10044> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
