Function clone_inttype() is never invoked #1176
Open
Description
I noted in this comment in issue #1150 that the union Value
member funp
is stored to in exactly one place and never fetched. I decided to instrument the code to understand under what conditions clone_inttype()
is called. It turns out it is never invoked when running the unit tests or in every day use by me.
It is unclear what the purpose of clone_inttype()
is. There is only one other analogous function, clone_chtype()
, and it is invoked many times when running the unit tests.
