gh-87613: Use AC and AC vectorcall for bool (#160791) gh-87613: Use AC vectorcall for bool Move bool.__new__ to Argument Clinic with @vectorcall, dropping the hand-written bool_new and bool_vectorcall. The generated vectorcall name matches the hand-written one so the tp_vectorcall slot is unchanged, and argument error messages are unchanged on both paths. pyperf microbenchmark (PGO+LTO, run serially), no significant change on the vectorcall path: | Benchmark | base | bool | |----------------|:-------:|:---------------------:| | bool.__new__ | 23.0 ns | 21.7 ns: 1.06x faster | | bool() | 10.1 ns | 10.4 ns: 1.03x slower | | bool(int) | 12.2 ns | 12.6 ns: 1.03x slower | | bool(True) | 11.1 ns | 11.4 ns: 1.03x slower | | Geometric mean | (ref) | 1.00x slower | Benchmark hidden because not significant (2): bool(__bool__), bool(list) Instructions per call (callgrind, inclusive of bool_vectorcall or bool_new, PGO+LTO): | Case | base | bool | delta | |-----------------------|-----:|-----:|------:| | bool() | 17 | 18 | +1 | | bool(True) | 20 | 23 | +3 | | bool(12345) | 53 | 49 | -4 | | bool([1]) | 50 | 47 | -3 | | bool.__new__(bool, 1) | 127 | 69 | -58 | The compiler folds PyObject_IsTrue(Py_False) for bool(), so the default costs nothing; the small deltas are register allocation. bool.__new__ drops PyArg_UnpackTuple for inline clinic parsing.
