[IronPython] [python] Re: Announcement: ProjecttogetsomeCPython C extensions running under IronPython

I know what pointers are - I just don't like them.

 

In C++/CLI you'd use a caret to get a safe handle to said object.

See my earlier email.  I think you *could* keep it in C, compile into
pure IL.  At that point you have to deal with pointer-driven algorithms
(eg, NumPy), but you could generate safe code. 

The basic data type in a CPython extension is a "PyObject *".  That
asterisk there is an old-fashioned way of saying "unsafe code".  :)
