New submission from Mark Shannon <m...@hotpy.org>:
Large literals or function calls with many arguments can consume a lot of stack space. This will be a problem for any future work to use a contiguous stack for data and possibly eliminate frame objects for most calls. It is also possible (I haven't measured this) that this large stack consumption is hurting performance now, as it might leak memory by leaving giant frames in the free-list or as a zombie frame. This fix relatively straightforward. For large literals and argument lists, build them incrementally rather than all at once. ---------- assignee: Mark.Shannon components: Interpreter Core messages: 391072 nosy: Mark.Shannon priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Control stack usage in large expressions type: performance _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43846> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
