The major drawback of the register approach (at least of my implementation) is that it changes the lifetime of objects. Newly created objects are only "destroyed" at the exit of the function, whereas the stack-based VM destroys "immediatly" objects (thanks to the reference counter).
It should not be a problem. Just register instructions should clear input registers if they are not binded to named local variables. I.e. "a = b + c * d" should be compiled to:
BINARY_MUL_REG R1, 'c', 'd' BINARY_ADD_REG 'a', 'b', R1 # R1 cleared _______________________________________________ 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
