This makes the Tier 2 interpreter a little faster. I calculated by about 3%, though I hesitate to claim an exact number. This starts by doubling the trace size limit (to 512), making it more likely that loops fit in a trace. The rest of the approach is to only load `oparg` and `operand` in cases that use them. The code generator know when these are used. For `oparg`, it will conditionally emit ``` oparg = CURRENT_OPARG(); ``` at the top of the case block. (The `oparg` variable may be referenced multiple times by the instructions code block, so it must be in a variable.) For `operand`, it will use `CURRENT_OPERAND()` directly instead of referencing the `operand` variable, which no longer exists. (There is only one place where this will be used.)
The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into these sections: 1. ``Include/``: Limited API 2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details 3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can change between minor releases 4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_ .. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
