Joshua Landau added the comment:
I've looked at BUILD_MAP(n). It seems to work and has speed improvements but:
- I was wrong about the 16-bit int thing. It turns out CPython is happily
treating them as 32 bit as long as they are prefixed by an EXTENDED_ARG bytecode
https://docs.python.org/3/library/dis.html#opcode-EXTENDED_ARG
This could be used by BUILD_MAP rather than falling back to BUILD_MAP_UNPACK.
- It's probably best to not include it here, since it's a disjoint issue. This
patch wouldn't really be affected by its absence.
Also, if we limit BUILD_MAP_MERGE to 255 dictionaries, this will also apply to
the {**a, **b, **c, ...} syntax, although I really can't see it being a problem.
