[Python-Dev] Two gcmodule patches (original) (raw)

There are two patches on SF to add a couple of features to the gc module. Skip wrote one (which I reviewed) and I wrote the other. Neither is earth shattering, but they're helpful when debugging gc issues.

Skips adds some timing output when DEBUG_STATS is set:

Mine adds gc.get_count() -- a parallel to .get_threshold() -- and also adds an optional 'generation' argument to gc.collect().

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1443865&group_id=5470&atid=305470

The patch also cleans up a couple of gcc warnings.

Thoughts? -Barry
