Is
n > 1
really good threshold? How aboutn > 2

I only chose
n > 1
because it always emits fewer opcodes than before the change. If you thinkn > 2
is a better heuristic, I'm fine with that.There was a problem hiding this comment.

I think your first example is only slower because it pays the price of a
LOAD_NAME
instead of aLOAD_CONST
(just a guess, though). It's not a direct comparison, unfortunately.There was a problem hiding this comment.

The fewer opcodes is not always more efficient.
BUILD_LIST_UNPACK calls
PyList_New(0)
andPyList_Extend(iterable)
. It causes over-allocation.On the other hand, BUILD_LIST just calls
PyList_New(n)
.So I think we should be conservative about choosing the threshold.

Thanks for the feedback @methane. I think this makes sense.
I've bumped the threshold to your recommended value of
n > 2
. Anything else?Some generated files are not rendered by default. Learn more about how customized files appear on GitHub.
