Re: [Cython] Possible bug related to multiple assignment

Andrew Collette, 16.06.2011 04:51:

I ran into some odd behavior when working on my cython-based project (h5py). The following cython code snippet is the culprit ("priv" is a function argument of type void**):

cdef conv_size_t *sizes priv[0] = sizes =<conv_size_t*>malloc(sizeof(conv_size_t))

gets turned into this (with Cython 0.14.1):

(__pyx_v_priv[0]) = ((__pyx_t_4h5py_5_conv_conv_size_t *)malloc((sizeof(__pyx_t_4h5py_5_conv_conv_size_t)))); __pyx_v_sizes = ((__pyx_t_4h5py_5_conv_conv_size_t *)malloc((sizeof(__pyx_t_4h5py_5_conv_conv_size_t))));

This is fixed in the latest master branch. And, yes, we're long overdue for a release. Stefan
