This patch by Antoine Pitrou optimizes the bytecode for conditional branches by merging the following "POP_TOP" instruction into the conditional jump. For example, the list comprehension "[x for x in l if not x]" produced the following bytecode: 1 0 BUILD_LIST 0 3 LOAD_FAST 0 (.0) >> 6 FOR_ITER 23 (to 32) 9 STORE_FAST 1 (x) 12 LOAD_FAST 1 (x) 15 JUMP_IF_TRUE 10 (to 28) 18 POP_TOP 19 LOAD_FAST 1 (x) 22 LIST_APPEND 2 25 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 6 >> 28 POP_TOP 29 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 6 >> 32 RETURN_VALUE but after the patch it produces the following bytecode: 1 0 BUILD_LIST 0 3 LOAD_FAST 0 (.0) >> 6 FOR_ITER 18 (to 27) 9 STORE_FAST 1 (x) 12 LOAD_FAST 1 (x) 15 POP_JUMP_IF_TRUE 6 18 LOAD_FAST 1 (x) 21 LIST_APPEND 2 24 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 6 >> 27 RETURN_VALUE Notice that not only the code is shorter, but the conditional jump (POP_JUMP_IF_TRUE) jumps right to the start of the loop instead of going through the JUMP_ABSOLUTE at the end. "continue" statements are helped similarly. Furthermore, the old jump opcodes (JUMP_IF_FALSE, JUMP_IF_TRUE) have been replaced by two new opcodes: - JUMP_IF_TRUE_OR_POP, which jumps if true and pops otherwise - JUMP_IF_FALSE_OR_POP, which jumps if false and pops otherwise
