STINNER Victor added the comment: I'm not sure that tkinter_ckallock.patch is correct. Extract of attemptckalloc() manual page: "If the allocation fails, these functions will return NULL. Note that on some platforms, but not all, attempting to allocate a zero-sized block of memory will also cause these functions to return NULL."
http://linux.die.net/man/3/attemptckalloc It looks like you are fixing two different issues in the same patch: fix AIX and enhance handling of memory allocation failure. Can you please split your patch in two parts? For AIX, adding these two lines for list/tuple should be enough: if (size == 0) return Tcl_NewListObj(0, NULL); ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21951> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
