Few years ago I experimented with a special opcode for exception matching. It could make the bytecode a tiny bit smaller and faster, but since catching an exception in Python is relatively expensive, it would not have significant performance benefit. As for splitting COMPARE_OP for comparison, identity and containment tests, all these operations look the same from the compiler side, they correspond the same AST node. Introducing new opcodes will complicate the compiler. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39156> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
