[New-bugs-announce] [issue33334] Add support of NOP and EXTENDED_ARG in stack_effect()

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com>:

Currently dis.stack_effect() doesn't support opcodes NOP and EXTENDED_ARG. NOP is never emitted by the standard compiler (it is temporary added in the peephole optimizer, but later it is removed). EXTENDED_ARG is a special case, it is considered as a part of long instructions.

dis.stack_effect() itself is not used in the dis module. It can be used in the third-party code, and the third-party code can produce bytecode with non-standard use of NOP and EXTENDED_ARG. Supporting them in dis.stack_effect() can avoid the need of special casing them in the third-party code.

I don't know whether this is a bug fix or a new feature.
