Unfortunately, there is no such warning, or the initial problem we are trying to solve would have been spotted by such a warning (unicode_repr() calls Py_UNICODE_ISPRINTABLE() with a Py_UCS4 argument). gcc has a -Wconversion flag, (which I tried today on python) but it is far too verbose before version 4.3, and this newer version still has some false positives. http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/NewWconversion But the most important thing is that implicit truncation on UCS2 builds is what happens already! The patch does not solve it, but at least it yields sensible results to wary code. Or can you imagine some (somewhat working) code which behavior will be worse after the change? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5127> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
