Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The issue with unused constants is an artifact of the peepholer running after the bytecode generation phase. When constant folding was written, I intentionally left-out a step to remove unused constants because of the code complexity, the fragility of the process, because the benefits were inconsequential, and because it added to compilation time.
It would be better to wait for the AST optimizer to replace the peepholer. AST optimizations are upstream from bytecode generation, so the unused constant issue simply disappears. ---------- resolution: -> rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2493> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
