The point is that we cannot make it sure. There is nothing specific about computed gotos here: any kind of compiler bug could threaten Python performance without us being able to do anything about it. Even if we restrict ourselves to standard C features. (also, I'll point out that it's not demonstrated that the problem above affects Python, rather than simply the particular piece of code shown in the bugzilla report) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9203> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
