Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Note that unicode_eq() always called after identity check and hash check. I.e. identity check in Victor's patch is redundant and unicode_eq() called only for strings which have the same hash. The probability to have the same first byte and be equal is a great.
unicode_compare_eq() and unicode_eq() are designed for different purposes. They cannot be just merged. As the optimization for unicode_eq(), I would have suggested a checking of first machine words instead of first bytes, but this trick is too dirty. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17628> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
