The impl should know whether or not it failed. So it's the interface we're defining that forces it to throw away that information. If we provided a way for it to return that information, we could shave off some cycles. The problem is, how do we do that in a way that doesn't suck? ... Can we live with PyErrOccurred() here?
Isn't there another option? To have the impl call a special "failed" clinic API, prior to returning failure? And if that wasn't called, then the return is success. Or does that require the same level of overhead as PyErr_Occurred?
Reducing the chances of PyErr_Occurred per Armin's suggestion seems good if the above is not an improvement. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20130805/7278808d/attachment.html>
