Description
Despite _Py_T_OBJECT
being marked as deprecated in descrobject.h
it is commonly used in the standard library.
LOAD_ATTR_SLOT
de-optimizes if the stored value is NULL
. If the stored value is not NULL
, both _Py_T_OBJECT
and Py_T_OBJECT_EX
act the same, so we can reuse LOAD_ATTR_SLOT
for _Py_T_OBJECT
.
For storing attributes, _Py_T_OBJECT
and Py_T_OBJECT_EX
are exactly the same.
I don't know why _Py_T_OBJECT
is deprecated, the semantics seem quite reasonable.
