sum() assumes that an arithmetic operation on signed longs will wrap modulo 2**(bits_in_long) on overflow. However, signed overflow causes undefined behaviour according to the C standards (e.g., C99 6.5, para. 5), and gcc is known to assume that signed overflow never occurs in correct code, and to make use of this assumption when optimizing. See also issue7406. |

I tested few cases (all positive, all negative, mixed), and did not found any performance difference after this change. ./python -m perf timeit -s "a = list(range(10**4))" -- "sum(a)" ./python -m perf timeit -s "a = [-i for i in range(10**4)]" -- "sum(a)" ./python -m perf timeit -s "a = [i*(-1)**i for i in range(10**4)]" -- "sum(a)" |

Can this be closed, or does the fix need to be backported? |
