Nick Coghlan added the comment: Yeah, I've figured out that rather than exposing __del__ if tp_del is populated, or generalising the generator special case, the simplest way to make this info accessible is to be able to ask the *garbage collector* if it thinks an object needs finalising.
That actually makes this a pretty easy issue (as C issues go) - it's just a matter of exposing http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Modules/gcmodule.c#l525 (has_finalizer) as gc.needs_finalizing. It will be easier once #17468 is done though, since that will make it clearer what the documentation should say. ---------- dependencies: +Generator memory leak keywords: +easy title: Expose __del__ when tp_del is populated from C code -> Add gc.needs_finalizing() to check if an object needs finalising _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17800> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
