Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Yes, I noticed this when reimplementing the random module in Numba. *Theoretically*, I think you need "long" to ensure ints are at least 32 bits. But in practice, I think CPython already needs 32-bit C ints.
(note Numpy also uses C longs internally) > Would it be possible to benchmark this change, to ensure that it doesn't kill > performances? There is no way it can kill performance. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson, pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23488> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
