Are you saying that the pystone benchmark contains such an empty loop? Do you know for a fact that Nuitka performs such an optimization based on static analysis? Are you saying that this one test is so significant that it invalidates the entire pystone benchmark? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
