Demur Rumed added the comment: There's some difficulty in changing next_instr to an unsigned short* unless pointer arithmetic converts it back to unsigned char*. Code relies on f_lasti to be a byte index more than it relies on f_lasti to be -1 at first. Should this change include converting jump offsets to word increments? This patch seeks to be a minimal change to achieve the desired aligned/batched memory read behavior of NEXTOP/NEXTARG. Perhaps a clear description of how deep the changes should be is in order
It's also a bit hard to assert pointer alignment without failling back to stdint's uintptr_t. It may be sufficient to assert f_lasti is an even number ---------- _______________________________________ 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
