New submission from STINNER Victor <[email protected]>:
PyUnicode_Format() creates short temporary substrings. Attached patch tries to
avoid substrings. For example, it avoids write of 1 character and repetition of
1 character like a space. PyUnicode_Format() now works in two steps:
- computes the maximum character and the length of the output string
- write characters into the output string
I'm not sure that my patch is correct, nor that the change does really speed-up
Python.
Benchmark:
./python -m timeit \
-s 's="x=%s, y=%u, z=%x"; args=(123, 456, 789)' \
's%args'
./python -m timeit \
-s 's="The %(k1)s is %(k2)s the %(k3)s."; args={"k1":"x","k2":"y","k3":"z",}'
\
's%args'
