(Might be wrong; I don't have a copy of the C standard to > hand.) Technically arbitrary relational comparisons of pointers are undefined, but in practice Antoine's assumptions here are very modest. They boil down to: v >= &array[0] && v < &array[array_len] It is hard for me to imagine a system designed such that the expression could evaluate to true when v is not in the array. I suppose a system could be designed where relational comparisons of unrelated data pointers causes a segmentation fault or similar, but that also seems unlikely to me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10044> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
