[Python-Dev] Specification of C function profiling? (original) (raw)

Hello,

it seems to me that there is no clear specification for the sys.setprofile() event c_call: the docs say "A C function is about to be called" but it's not clear what that means exactly, in particular when that C function is an unbound method like list.append.

I also noticed that Lib/test/test_sys_setprofile.py doesn't test any of the c_* events.

I'm asking in the context of https://bugs.python.org/issue34125 I found out that list.append([], None) does generate a c_call event but list.append([], None, **{}) does not.

Jeroen.
