Known compiler-related experiments
==================================

This section lists known experiments involving the compiler (including
bytecode).

Skip Montanaro presented a paper at a Python workshop on a peephole optimizer
[#skip-peephole]_.

Michael Hudson has a non-active SourceForge project named Bytecodehacks
[#Bytecodehacks]_ that provides functionality for playing with bytecode
directly.

An opcode to combine the functionality of ``LOAD_ATTR``/``CALL_FUNCTION`` was
created named ``CALL_ATTR`` [#CALL_ATTR]_. Currently only works for classic
classes and for new-style classes rough benchmarking showed an actual slowdown
thanks to having to support both classic and new-style classes.
