Section 1.10 ("Reference Counts" in Extending Python)
has this:
"In C++, the operators new and delete are used with
essentially the same meaning and we'll restrict the
following discussion to the latter."
However, the following discussion uses malloc() and free
() (i.e. "the former"), not new and delete. Either this
should be corrected to say "the former" (as with the
attached one line patch), or the whole section should be
corrected to use new and delete.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Assigning to mwh, who introduced this confusion in extending.tex 1.23. I don't think "the former" is more clear, as it might just refer to the keyword "new", as opposed to they keyword "delete", which would be "the latter". |

Logged In: YES user_id=6656 Fixed in revision 1.26 of Doc/ext/extending.tex but by changing the offending text to "restrict the following discussion to the C case." |
