Well, it's not that cumbersome... If you look at CPU encodings, they also tend to have different opcodes for different immediate lengths. In your case, I'd say it mostly leads to a bit of code duplication. But the opcode space is far from exhausted right now :) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
