The void type
__str__
and__repr__
handling code at the C level was almost completely identical in their respective C functions. Both already called common__repr__
handling code at the Python level, and this PR aims to similarly reduce code duplication / maintenance burden at the C level.Note that it is, of course, not uncommon for
__str__
implementations to simply call__repr__
, and the quaternion dtype implementation uses exact duplicate code for both instead of one calling the other.Here, both functions weren't quite identical, so the common handler function accepts arguments to allow the formatting differences between
__repr__
and__str__
to be specified while abstracting the common logic.void type discussion / work in PR from @ahaldane : #8981
