I tried two approaches: 1. Push one more leading NULL to the stack in LOAD_METHOD (which makes it push 3 vals). Then, in CALL_FUNCTION, detect when the callable is NULL and to the stuff that CALL_METHOD does. 2. Use a bitflag on oparg for CALL_FUNCTION and CALL_* opcodes. This adds EXTENDED_ARG opcode overhead. Long story short, the only option would be to add dedicated opcodes to work with LOAD_METHOD. However, I'd prefer to first merge this patch, as it's relatively small and easy to review, and then focus on improving other things (keyword/*arg calls, C methods, etc). This is just a first step. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26110> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
