[Python-Dev] NOARGS_NULL (original) (raw)

My only objection (which is a minor one) is with the 'NOARGS_NULL' name. Caps don't fit the normal style rules, and 'noargs_null' doesn't make much sense to me. 'unused' strikes me as a clearer name (or 'noargs_unused' or 'args_unused' or such.) It should be fine to fix this in 2.5 as well (as long as arguments previously ignored don't suddenly raise exceptions, but it doesn't sound like that's happening at all.)

Patch #1648268 corrects a huge load of errors in Python wrt. incorrect function pointers (i.e. functions called with a different signature then declared, through pointers). The rationale for this patch is that the submitter apparently has a platform where Python crashes in the face of these errors. I believe the patch is correct, and would like to apply it. The patch also renames many function arguments: parameters in a METHNOARGS function get consistently named NOARGSNULL (currently often called 'unused' or 'noargs'); the second parameter to getters gets consistently named 'closure' (it's called closure in many places already, and 'unused' in others). I would also apply this part of the change, and both to the trunk and Python 2.5. Objections? Regards, Martin
