Hi everyone,
Should the optimizer eliminate tests that it can prove have no effect on
the control flow of the program, even if that may eliminate some side
effects in __bool__()?
For several years we have converted
if a and b:
...
to
if a:
if b:
...
which are equivalent, unless bool(a) has side effects the second time it
is called.
In master we convert `if x: pass` to `pass` which is equivalent, unless
bool(x) has side effects the first time it is called. This is a recent
change.
This is one of those "easy to fix, if we can decide on the semantics" bugs.
Submit your thoughts to https://bugs.python.org/issue42899, please.
Cheers,
Mark.

eh, that was just me picking a cheap something to demo it. the program
raises an application-specific error that I didn't feel like
defining to
keep the repro as short as possible.
