Since the patch heavily relies on the compiler doing the right thing (which esp. GCC often doesn't, unfortunately), I think that the opcode dispatch code should only be enabled via a configure option. This is safer than enabling the support unconditionally for GCC and the SUN Pro C compiler, since it is rather likely that some GCC versions have bugs which could render Python unusable if compiled with the dispatching support enabled. A configure option also has the additional benefit that you can enable the support for compilers which support the syntax, but are not included in the hard-coded list of compilers included in the patch. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4753> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
