We're not planning on that. Also, the refcounting would have to be replaced by something else that would also be fairly intrusive on the C interface, such as having to remember to make all your local variables known to the garbage collector. A better plan would be to build something akin to Pyrex into the scheme of things, so that all the refcount/GC issues are taken care of automatically. -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | A citizen of NewZealandCorp, a | Christchurch, New Zealand | wholly-owned subsidiary of USA Inc. | greg.ewing at canterbury.ac.nz +--------------------------------------+
