Type checking when casting objects to pointers

Description (last modified by scoder) (diff)

a) There's currently a lot of different PyObject declarations floating around in Cython/Includes. This could be fixed by centralizing them. [DONE]

b) However, currently it is possible to do <AnyStruct*>pyobject. This is probably a bit too lenient -- one would wish to require <AnyStruct*><void*>pyobject; while still allowing <PyObject*>pyobject. This could speak in favor of making PyObject a builtin.

  • milestone changed from wishlist to 0.12

Targeting this to 0.12 as it's really annoying. There should be a builtin "PyObject?" type that's simply known without any cimports.

  • milestone changed from 0.12 to 0.13

This has not been decided yet. The cleanup in Cython/Includes/ lifts the weight from this problem. Retargeting to 0.13.
