[Pyrex] BUG: a problem with type casting in __richcmp__...

[Alexander A Naanou]

Hi All!!

Problem:
the goal was to access the *private* var directly...
Here is a peace of code that worked as intended:
---cut---
cdef public class callproxy:
	cdef obj


	# ... (other stuff)

	def __cmp__(self, other):
		cdef callproxy tmp
		if type(other) == callproxy:
			tmp = other
			return self.obj.__cmp__(tmp.obj)
		return self.obj.__cmp__(other)

	# ... (other stuff)

---uncut---

and here is the method that broke!! (in the same class)

---cut---

	# ... (code from prev. snippet)

	# this is stripped down to a state just enought to reproduce the bug..
	def __richcmp__(self, other, int op):
		cdef callproxy tmp
		if type(other) == callproxy:
			tmp = other
			# ...
			return self.obj.__cmp__(tmp.obj)
		# ...


---uncut---

what happend is in the line "return self.obj.__cmp__(tmp.obj)" we got a python 
(e.g. indirect) lookup, where as in the method __cmp__ a correct cast and 
direct lookup.

I did not yet look into the generated C code, but I see no difference in the 
source Pyrex code other than the method declaration...

Thanks.
