New submission from Mark Shannon: The restriction that line numbers must be monotonically increasing w.r.t bytecode offset in the co_lnotab array prevents a number of beneficial transformations in the bytecode compiler.
This patch allows negative line number deltas and uses this capability to generate code for 'while' loops in standard text book fashion, putting the test *after* the body. ---------- hgrepos: 172 messages: 179887 nosy: Mark.Shannon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Allow signed line number deltas in the code object's line number table _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16956> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
