I did some spelunking. Guido committed the similar optimization in r8306. The diff is at: http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Python/ceval.c?r1=8087&r2=8306 His commit message was: Huge speedup by inlining some common integer operations: int+int, int-int, int <compareop> int, and list[int]. (Unfortunately, int*int is way too much code to inline.) Also corrected a NULL that should have been a zero. It's possible that these kinds of optimizations were worthwhile with PyInt but aren't worthwhile with PyLong. They were taken out by MvL in r59334, with a commit message of: Remove special-casing of integer operations, to stop using PyInt_CheckExact. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9800> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
