Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
I recommend bringing this new proposal up on python-dev or python-ideas, to get more eyeballs on the ideas before attempting implementation. One immediate worry I have is that if the reference counter is maintained in the shared memory segment, every process has to participate, and if a process crashes (segfaults) the shared refcount will be forever wrong and the segment will leak. Distributed GC is hard! ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38119> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
