Since the patch heavily relies on the compiler doing the right
thing (which esp. GCC often doesn't, unfortunately), I think that the
opcode dispatch code should only be enabled via a configure option.
This is safer than enabling the support unconditionally for GCC and
the SUN Pro C compiler, since it is rather likely that some GCC versions
have bugs which could render Python unusable if compiled with the
dispatching support enabled.
A configure option also has the additional benefit that you can enable
the support for compilers which support the syntax, but are not included
in the hard-coded list of compilers included in the patch. |
