This isn't a priority issue I'd say. However, fixing it could yield nice benefits. I ran into this while experimenting with JUMBO/Unity builds as part of a bit of fun I've been having tweaking build options across the CPython ecosystem.
Theoretically, a JUMBO/Unity build could reduce code size, improve performance, and maybe even help code analysis detect more bugs by building everything in a single compilation unit. Link Time Code Generation is great, but usually isn't as good as building everything in a single compilation unit.
An example of an interesting thing noticed while compiling as a Unity build:
This exact variable is defined twice in two separate source files, itertoolsmodule.c:4303, and and collectionsmodule.c:1774:
PyDoc_STRVAR(length_hint_doc, "Private method returning an estimate of len(list(it)).");
...the default Release configuration includes this exact string 12 (!) times.
There's a lot of stuff like that. It's not actually broken, and sometimes it's probably inconvenient to fix it (what are you gonna do? put it in a header?), but it would be nice. |
