Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I also always wanted to experiment this change. But I was afraid that providing such macros can encourage of overusing it. I don't want to wrap any test for NULL or -1 with these macros.
If we expect some benefit from using these macros, I would play with them in hot loops. For example in dict lookup function (unlikely comparing keys raise an exception or dict is modified in process of searching), in codecs (unlikely illegal sequence is occurred), etc. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29461> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
