| Description | If you want to create an arena with a commit limit, you have to do this in two calls: first, mps_arena_create_k, then mps_arena_commit_limit_set. This can be inconvenient when writing a test case, say, to compare behaviour with and without a commit limit. It would be easier if there were a keyword argument for setting the initial commit limit because then everything would be encapsulated in the argument array. |
| Analysis | Similarly, it would be nice if there were keyword arguments for setting the spare commit limit, and the initial arena state (parked/clamped/unclamped). See job003448. Note that setting the initial commit limit might fail, in which case the arena creation should fail. |
