New submission from Jeroen Demeyer <j.deme...@ugent.be>:
The bytecode interpreter uses an inline function call_function() to handle most function calls. To check for profiling, call_function() needs to call to PyThreadState_GET(). In the reference implementation of PEP 590, I saw that we can remove these PyThreadState_GET() calls by passing the thread state from the main eval loop to call_function(). I suggest to apply this optimization now, because they make sense independently of PEP 580 and PEP 590 and to give a better baseline for performance comparisons. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 340078 nosy: Mark.Shannon, jdemeyer, petr.viktorin priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Optimize thread state handling in function call code versions: Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36616> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
