Hi, Could some one give a hand with explaining to me why we have a JUMP_ABSOLUTE followed by a JUMP_FORWARD op code when this function is disassembled.
>>> def f1(): ... a, b = 10, 11 ... if a >= 10: ... if b >= 11: ... print("hello world") … The disassembled function is shown below. >>> dis(f1) 2 0 LOAD_CONST 4 ((10, 11)) 3 UNPACK_SEQUENCE 2 6 STORE_FAST 0 (a) 9 STORE_FAST 1 (b) 3 12 LOAD_FAST 0 (a) 15 LOAD_CONST 1 (10) 18 COMPARE_OP 5 (>=) 21 POP_JUMP_IF_FALSE 47 4 24 LOAD_FAST 1 (b) 27 LOAD_CONST 2 (11) 30 COMPARE_OP 5 (>=) 33 POP_JUMP_IF_FALSE 47 5 36 LOAD_CONST 3 ('hello world') 39 PRINT_ITEM 40 PRINT_NEWLINE 41 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 47 44 JUMP_FORWARD 0 (to 47) >> 47 LOAD_CONST 0 (None) 50 RETURN_VALUE From my understanding, once JUMP_ABSOLUTE is executed, then JUMP_FORWARD is never gotten to so must be dead code so why is it being generated? Furthermore why is JUMP_ABSOLUTE rather than JUMP_FORWARD used in this particular case of nested if statements? I have tried other types of nested if statements and it has always been JUMP_FORWARD that is generated. _______________________________________________ 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
