Larry Hastings added the comment: I don't think we can solve the problem of the output being too long for your liking. Personally I like the output; I find it eminently readable, and making it shorter would impair that. I think in the majority of uses Clinic will be a win for readability.
I do have one suggestion that might mitigate the problem for you. What if you put all the argument processing in a separate file (with .c or .h extension) and #include that in _decimal.c? You don't *have* to have the body for the impl function immediately after the DSL block; you could just have a semicolon there after the block and the C compiler would interpret it as a (redundant) declaration. You'd have to maintain declaring the impl yourself in _decimal.c, but I'm guessing you'd rather do that than have all the Clinic stuff blowing up _decimal.c. Finally, since you have not addressed it directly, let me ask you: are you interested in Clinic having a more boilerplate-friendly macro processing mode, with templates or recycling old entries or something? Or do you not care? If it doesn't help you then I may as well not bother. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16612> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
