@pitrou: <ranting mode> Argh, reference counting hinders even that? </ranting mode> I just discovered another problem caused by refcounting. Various techniques allow to create binary code from the interpreter binary, by just pasting together the code for the common interpreters cases and producing calls to the other. But, guess what, on most platforms (except plain x86, but including x86_64 and maybe x86 for the shared library case) this does not work if the copied code includes function calls (on x86_64 that's due to RIP-relative addressing, and on similar issues on other platforms). So, Python could not even benefit from that! That's a real pity... I'll have to try with subroutine threading, to see if that's faster than indirect threading on current platforms or if it is still slower. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4753> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
