Jan Hosang <jan.hos...@gmail.com> added the comment: I was looking at the remaining differences between Modules/arraymodule.c in python 2.7 and the 3k branch, in particular I was testing why including the changes to the function array_ass_slice into the patch breaks the unit test of the array module.
The manual resizing of the memory basically was replaced by a call to array_resize with the advantage, that checking for exported memory views is done there (which is not necessary because it's already done in the function) and the code gets clearer. I think when PyMem_RESIZE is called the pointer to the memory might change. So in 3k this now happens in array_resize, so the array->ob_item pointer changes but not it's local copy in array_ass_slice. Isn't that potentially causing trouble in python 3k? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6071> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
