STINNER Victor added the comment: 00141-fix-tests_with_COUNT_ALLOCS-v5.patch: please don't do that! It makes tests much more verbose for a compilation option which is hidden and probably almost never used in the wild. The option has no configuration option for example.
*If* you really want to keep the feature, I would prefer to make it more visible (add a configuration option) and disable the output at exit by default. It's better to add a new "-X showcountallocs" as it was done with "-X showrefcount". Before, we had to fix a lot of unit tests (as 00141-fix-tests_with_COUNT_ALLOCS-v5.patch) to strip the "[xxx refs]" from stderr, it was very annoying. "Python 3.4 now has sys.getallocatedblocks() and a new tracemalloc module which are compiled by default." IMHO these two debug features superseded COUNT_ALLOCS. Please try to convince me of the use case of this very old debug feature. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19527> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
