[issue13867] misleading comment in weakrefobject.h
New submission from Jim Jewett <jimjjewett@gmail.com>: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/fec45282dc28/Include/weakrefobject.h#l54 The comment makes sense -- but doesn't appear to be true, so perhaps it is the macro that should change. /* This macro calls PyWeakref_CheckRef() last since that can involve a function call; this makes it more likely that the function call will be avoided. */ #define PyWeakref_Check(op) \ (PyWeakref_CheckRef(op) || PyWeakref_CheckProxy(op)) ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Extension Modules messages: 151983 nosy: Jim.Jewett, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: misleading comment in weakrefobject.h _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13867> _______________________________________
