STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@gmail.com> added the comment: Ok, benchmarks have spoken, amen. I applied Serhiy Storchaka's patch (version 3). I just replaced expressions in calls to Py_MAX by variables: Py_MAX is a macro and it may have to compute each expression twice. I didn't check if it's more or less efficient. Thanks Serhiy for your contribution! I added your name to Misc/ACKS.
We may change Py_MIN/Py_MAX to something more efficient using typeof(): #define max(a,b) \ ({ typeof (a) _a = (a); \ typeof (b) _b = (b); \ _a > _b ? _a : _b; }) I don't know which C compilers support it, but gcc does, at least. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14249> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
