[issue29318] Optimize _PyFunction_FastCallDict() for **kwargs

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

INADA Naoki: "Since mutating kw dict shouldn't affect caller's dict, caller and callee can't share the dict."

Oh, I knew that, it's not the first time that I propose to implement this optimization and that I got this answer !? So I added a comment for myself, to remind me not to propose this optimization anymore :-D

I close this issue.


Serhiy Storchaka: "In most cases kw is empty or very small. I doubt any optimization can have significant effect."

I have no opinion on Naoki's optimization idea.

Naoki: Feel free to implement your idea to measure the speedup, but please open a new issue for that if you consider that it's worth it.

FYI Naoki and me started to list ideas to optimize CPython 3.7:
