New submission from STINNER Victor: In interactive mode, when I run python in gdb, I see that PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful() is called a lot of times. Calls come from PyDict_GetItemString() or PySys_GetObject() for example.
Allocating a temporary Unicode string and decode a byte string from UTF-8 is inefficient: the memory allocator is stressed and the byte string is decoded at each call. I propose to reuse the _Py_IDENTIFIER API in most common places to limit calls to the memory allocator and to PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful(). ---------- messages: 202273 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Avoid most calls to PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful() in Python interactive mode versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19512> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
