STINNER Victor added the comment: Because most people agree that checking first and/or last byte/character is not a good idea (may be slower), here is a new patch removing code checking first/last byte or character in bytes_richcompare() and unicode_eq().
It removes the usage of the "register" keyword, I read that modern compilers generate worse code when this keyword is used. Register allocators of modern compilers known better than you which variables should use a register. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29757/dont_compare_first_last.patch _______________________________________ 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
