It calls calloc(size) instead of malloc(size), calloc() which can be faster than malloc()+memset(), see: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2014-April/133985.html _PyObject_GC_Calloc() is used by PyType_GenericAlloc(). If I understand directly, it is the default allocator to allocate Python objects. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21233> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
