[Cython] Size of output

[Nathan]

Interesting it’s not documented well, it definitely should be.

It corresponds to this compiler option:

https://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/userguide/source_files_and_compilation.html#Cython.Compiler.Options.annotate


When you turn that option on or pass -a or —annotate to the compiler,
cython generates a sidecar html file you can open in a browswer. The
document initially just contains the cython source code, with each line
highlighted shades of yellow to indicate the amount of python overhead that
line invokes. You can also click on each line to see the corresponding
generated C. It’s very helpful to understand how changes in cython syntax
or even compiler options can influence the performance and level of safety
of the generated C code (usually in an inverse relationship).
