[Python-Dev] Does anyone use CALL_PROFILE special build? (original) (raw)

Hi,

I proposed a patch to drop the CALL_PROFILE special build to simplify Python/ceval.c: http://bugs.python.org/issue28799

I modified ceval.c for fast calls in Python 3.6, and I'm not sure that the feature still works correctly. The feature is not well documented and not tested at all.

For fast calls, I moved some code, so it's more complex to update call statistics since statistics are implemented in ceval.c.

I would like to completely remove the feature to be able to implement further optimizations.
