I think so, but it might not hurt to have it.

well, I don't expect the C compiler to be smart enough to recognise the
second is an "elif False:", so the "hurt" would be in additional code
executed. Plus, having hidden "elif False:"s in a code base is a really bad
code smell, so I think there is a penalty. What do you want to guard
against?
I tried removal here:
https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/37420
and as expected it looks like it's working fine.

Sorry for the delayed response.
If the C compiler can't tell the difference between an int and a long, then
that suggests that there is still a difference. I am not sure that Cython
has any specification that these are different. My understanding is Cython
treats these as C types. Can we be cer
Hi Travis,
No, these routines are about the python types. They get used as `type(x) is
int` and `type(x) is long`. They are used in a different namespace from
`cdef int x` and `cdef long x` and cdef long long x` (well, the `x` is in
the cython object namespace. The C-types don't make it into th
I am not sure it is purely about Python types since it gets changed into C
code. (For reference, I changed your snippet to cpdef and got the same
result too.) It would be nice if there was an actual specification for
this in Cython. I just get slightly worried after getting translated into C

well ... code dealing with python ints in Py3 needs to deal with
multi-precision PyInt objects, so it can't unwrap these. Whether they are
