[issue29260] Use designated initializers to define PyTypeObject types

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

The question was discussed on the python-dev mailing list:
[Python-Dev] Can we use "designated initializer" widely in core modules?
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-January/147154.html

I understood that it's ok to use them in new code, but not to convert existing code:

Guido van Rossum: "I'm against changing any existing code to use it -- such massive changes are high risk and low reward. Just do it for new fields or new types."
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-January/147175.html

So I close this issue.

Note: I rejected my changes to add new tp_fastnew, tp_fastinit and tp_fastcall slots, issues #29358 and #29259.

----------
resolution:  -> fixed
status: open -> closed
