Cython v0.17.2 Release Notes
Release Date: 2012-11-20 // over 11 years ago-
🔋 Features added
cythonize()gained a best effort compile mode that can be used to simply ignore .py files that fail to compile.
🐛 Bugs fixed
Replacing an object reference with the value of one of its cdef attributes could generate incorrect C code that accessed the object after deleting its last reference.
C-to-Python type coercions during cascaded comparisons could generate invalid C code, specifically when using the 'in' operator.
"obj[1,]" passed a single integer into the item getter instead of a tuple.
Cyclic imports at module init time did not work in Py3.
The names of C++ destructors for template classes were built incorrectly.
In pure mode, type casts in Cython syntax and the C ampersand operator are now rejected. Use the pure mode replacements instead.
In pure mode, C type names and the sizeof() function are no longer recognised as such and can be used as normal Python names.
👍 The extended C level support for the CPython array type was declared too late to be used by user defined classes.
C++ class nesting was broken.
👍 Better checking for required nullary constructors for stack-allocated C++ instances.
✂ Remove module docstring in no-docstring mode.
🛠 Fix specialization for varargs function signatures.
🛠 Fix several compiler crashes.
Other changes
- An experimental distutils script for compiling the CPython standard library was added as Tools/cystdlib.py.
