-RED_FLAG 22-Sep-2000 tim
-PyFloat_FromString's pend argument is braindead. Prior to this RED_FLAG,
-
-1. If v was a regular string, *pend was set to point to its terminating
- null byte. That's useless (the caller can find that without any
- help from this function!).
-
-2. If v was a Unicode string, or an object convertible to a character
- buffer, *pend was set to point into stack trash (the auto temp
- vector holding the character buffer). That was downright dangerous.
-
-Since we can't change the interface of a public API function, pend is
-still supported but now *officially* useless: if pend is not NULL,
-*pend is set to NULL.
