[Python-Dev] PEP 384: a request for PyType_Slot

[Lisandro Dalcin]

Martin, a small request.

Any chance you consider defining PyType_Slot like below?

typedef struct{
  int slot;    /* slot id, see below */
  void *pdata; /* data pointer */
  void (*pfunc)(void); /* function pointer */
} PyType_Slot

Or perhaps other way? Just to avoid compilers complaining about the
illegal conversion between pointers to data and pointers to
functions... It would be really annoying being force to do
type-punning using an union in order to get "correct" C code...
