[issue1523] xdrlib fails to detect overflow (struct bug?)

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm [at] gmail> added the comment:

I think there's nothing we can do about this in 2.6: there's probably code
out there that depends on the overflow behaviour.

However, 2.6 should have been issuing DeprecationWarnings for overflow
handling, so it would be safe to remove the overflow wrapping for 2.7.

[issue1523] xdrlib fails to detect overflow (struct bug?) [In reply to]

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm [at] gmail> added the comment:

The deprecated overflow wrapping has been removed from trunk in r73891.
(It was already removed in py3k a while ago.)

I'd really like to remove the deprecated float coercion from trunk too,
but since the warnings weren't functioning properly in 2.6, this probably
has to wait until 2.8.

resolution: -> fixed
status: open -> closed
