I was replying to a Cython user who thought anything declared 'cdef' was reference counted
That's a matter of user education. We can't use syntax to address every possible misconception a user might have.
"cdef" refers to storage in the generated C, not to the semantics of Cython. But how and where variables are stored in the generated C is an implementation detail.
Not entirely -- you can't access a cdef attribute of an extension type using getattr(), for example. And external C code only has direct access to cdef variables and attributes. -- Greg _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
