New submission from Demur Rumed: Originally started @ https://github.com/abarnert/cpython/tree/wpy
This patch is based off of https://github.com/serprex/cpython/tree/wpy It omits importlib.h & importlib_external.h as those are generated It omits https://github.com/serprex/cpython/blob/wpy/Python/wordcode.md I got around to benchmarking against building on master rather than using my repo's packaged version, it's currently a 1% speed improvement (every bit counts). I'm testing on an Intel Atom 330 with Linux. Besides the minor perf increase, it generates smaller bytecode & is simpler (peephole now handles EXTENDED_ARG since it isn't too hard to track & while loops become for loops in dis) Previous discussion: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2016-February/143357.html pdb works without changes. coverage.py doesn't seem to rely on anything this changes I modified byteplay to target this change mostly over the course of half an hour before work: https://github.com/serprex/byteplay/blob/master/wbyteplay.py I'd be interested to hear if this encoding simplifies things for FAT python & the recent work to cache attribute/global lookup Remaining code issues: peepholer could allocate half the space as it does now for basic block tracking, compile.c & peephole.c repeat themselves on computing instruction size given an argument & how to spit out an instruction given an argument Breaking change in dis: I've removed HAVE_ARGUMENT. This is to help code fail fast. It could be replaced with IGNORES_ARGUMENT or, as abarnert suggested, a range(90,256) named after the other hasXXXs 'hasarg' ---------- components: Interpreter Core files: wpy.patch keywords: patch messages: 262501 nosy: Demur Rumed priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Wordcode type: performance versions: Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file42300/wpy.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26647> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
