Before this change, we ensured that all references to them were deleted. On CPython, this was enough to set the reference count to zero, which results in garbage collecting and releasing them. On PyPy, releasing the memoryviews is not necessary because they are implemented differently. If it would be necessary however, ensuring that all references are deleted would not be suffient because PyPy doesn’t use reference counting. By using with statements that take care of releasing the memoryviews, we ensure that the bytearray is resizable without relying on implementation details. So while this doesn’t fix any observable bug, it increases compatiblity with other and future Python implementations. diff -r 4d42a5fb70bf -r 4c57ce494a4e mercurial/worker.py --- a/mercurial/worker.py Sat May 21 22:24:02 2022 +0200 +++ b/mercurial/worker.py Sat May 21 23:31:30 2022 +0200 @@ -107,16 +107,16 @@ return self._wrapped.readall() buf = bytearray(size) - view = memoryview(buf) pos = 0 - while pos < size: - ret = self._wrapped.readinto(view[pos:]) - if not ret: - break - pos += ret + with memoryview(buf) as view: + while pos < size: + with view[pos:] as subview: + ret = self._wrapped.readinto(subview) + if not ret: + break + pos += ret - del view del buf[pos:] return bytes(buf)
