Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: What if change the type of next_instr to unsigned short*? This would guarantee that the read is aligned since the start of code data is aligned.
I have small doubt about PREDICT(). I doubt that the compiler is smart enough to infer that *next_instr and *(unsigned short*)next_instr & 255 is the same. It can do unneeded work. I don't know whether this have negative effect. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27097> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
