Objects/listobject.c has a static function named list_clear used internally. Is it possible to just expose this function as a clear() method? One problem is that it has this strange comment in the end: /* Never fails; the return value can be ignored. Note that there is no guarantee that the list is actually empty at this point, because XDECREF may have populated it again! */ However, looking at the code I'm not sure the list can be cleared any more than the function does, and it actually deallocates the ob_item field of the list. |
