Please don't make this kind of change -- it makes the code so much harder to follow. If this is needed for Cygwin, then, e.g., do
#define DEFERRED(x) 0 /* some boxes can't resolve addresses at compile-time */
and make the "after" line
DEFERRED(PyObject_GenericGetAttr), /*tp_getattro*/
IOW, the type slots should be readable on their own, as a static unit.
I agree, this makes sense. The only problem is that the functions/methods will have to be specified twice. It would be nice if we only had to specify each once. Any ideas? There are several places this has already been done (and at least one more coming). Do you want a global Py_DEFERRED() or some other name? Neal
