Hi Amaury, > There is a project to rewrite it in C Thanks for publicizing this. I'm a bit surprised by the adopted approach. It seems you are merely translating the Python code into C. I think the proper approach for the buffered IO classes would be to use a fixed-size buffer which never gets reallocated. If you look at bufferedwriter2.patch in #3476, I had rewritten BufferedWriter using a fixed-size buffer (although not for performance reasons), I think it would be a good starting point for a C implementation.

Hi Amaury,

> There is a project to rewrite it in C

Thanks for publicizing this. I'm a bit surprised by the adopted
approach. It seems you are merely translating the Python code into C. I
think the proper approach for the buffered IO classes would be to use a
fixed-size buffer which never gets reallocated.

If you look at bufferedwriter2.patch in #3476, I had rewritten
BufferedWriter using a fixed-size buffer (although not for performance
reasons), I think it would be a good starting point for a C implementation.
