Gregory P. Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: oh yay, thanks. it looks like you did approximately what i had started working on testing a while back but have gone much further and added autoconf magic to try and determine when which size should be used. good.
(i haven't reviewed your autoconf stuff yet) As for marhsalled data and pyc compatibility, yes that is important to consider. We should probably base the decision on which digit size to use internally on benchmarks, not just if the platform can support 64bit ints. Many archs support 64bit numbers as a native C type but require multiple instructions or are very slow when doing it. (embedded arm, mips or ppc come to mind as obvious things to test that on) ---------- nosy: +gregory.p.smith priority: -> normal _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4258> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
