Attached is the computed goto patch (along with instructions to run) for Python 2.7.10 (based on the patch submitted by Jeffrey Yasskin at http://bugs.python.org/issue4753). We built and tested this patch for Python 2.7.10 on a Linux machine (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server, Intel Xeon – Haswell EP CPU with 18 cores, hyper-threading off, turbo off).
Hi Vamsi,
Thank you for your work and your detailed email.
I'm -1 on the idea because:
- Performance improvements are not bug fixes
- The patch doesn't make the migration process from Python 2 to Python 3 easier
- In long term, it would be nice to work on making Python 3 better: See http://bugs.python.org/issue11549 for an example task.
