New submission from Alex Hall <alex.mojaki at gmail.com>:
In this script:
import inspect
import dis
def foo(**_):
frame = inspect.currentframe().f_back
print(frame.f_lasti)
dis.dis(frame.f_code)
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
foo(**d)
dis shows these instructions for `foo(**d)`:
10 34 LOAD_NAME 2 (foo)
36 BUILD_TUPLE 0
38 BUILD_MAP 0
40 LOAD_NAME 3 (d)
42 DICT_MERGE 1
44 CALL_FUNCTION_EX 1
46 POP_TOP
48 LOAD_CONST 1 (None)
50 RETURN_VALUE
On Linux/OSX, frame.f_lasti is 44, pointing to the CALL_FUNCTION_EX as I'd expect.
But on Windows it's 42, which is the preceding instruction DICT_MERGE.
The bytecode itself is identical on the different systems, it's just the frame offset that differs.
This manifested as a test failure in a debugging tool here: https://github.com/samuelcolvin/python-devtools/pull/93
