Long answer: I added an invocation counter to the code object and keep interpreting in the usual Python interpreter until this counter reaches a configurable threshold. When it reaches this threshold, I create the new instruction format and interpret with this optimized representation. All the macros look exactly the same in the source code, they are just redefined to use the different instruction format. I am at no point serializing this representation or the runtime information gathered by me, as any subsequent invocation might have different characteristics.
I will remove my development commentaries and create a private repository at bitbucket for you* to take an early look like Georg (and more or less Terry, too) suggested. Is that a good way for most of you? (I would then give access to whomever wants to take a look.) Best, --stefan *: not personally targeted at Guido (who is naturally very much welcome to take a look, too) but addressed to python-dev in general. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
