New submission from Mark Shannon <m...@hotpy.org>:
"Medium" integers are those with a single internal digit or zero. Medium integers are integers in the range -2**30 to +2**30 on 64 bit machines. "Small" integers, -5 to 256 are cached, but are represented as medium integers internally. To a good approximation, all integers are "medium". However, we make little effort to exploit that fact in the code for binary operations, which are very common operations on integers. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 399832 nosy: Mark.Shannon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Integer operations are inefficient for "medium" integers. type: performance _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
