Adam Olsen <rha...@gmail.com> added the comment: Antoine, I only meant list() and dict() to be an example of objects with a larger allocation pattern. We get a substantial benefit from the sequentially increasing memory addresses, and I wanted to make sure that benefit wasn't lost on larger allocations than object().
Mark, I concede the point about rotating; I believe the cost on x86 is the same regardless. Why are you still only rotating 3 bits? My results were better with 4 bits, and that should be the sweet spot for the typical use cases. Also, would the use of size_t make this code simpler? It should be the size of the pointer even on windows. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5186> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
