Demur Rumed added the comment: fstrtup2.patch is a bit more of an involved optimization for when we are joining 2 strings. Instead it emits BINARY_ADD. This may be considered too 'niche' since it only triggers when the substitution occurs at the start or end of a string & there is only one substitution
However, it reduces the "X is {x}" testcase on my machine to 4.9 usec Interesting thing, to consider ceiling of what we can do, Prefixing ./python -m timeit -s "x=1" '%s'%x 1.08 usec '%s'%(x,) 2.04 usec str(x) 2.9 usec f'{x}' 3.65 usec So we should not be aiming to compete with %. It may be worthy to convert the code to generate "x is {}".format calls tho ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43704/fstrtup2.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27078> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
