You assert that declaring a parameter as "register" instructs the compiler that callers should pass in the argument on the stack, but the function should then copy it to a register? Can you cite a reference? (I admit in advance I can't cite a reference for my assertion that it asks to pass the argument in a register. And we all know the "register" keyword is more or less an unfunny joke to the compiler anyway.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18090> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
