* :c:func:`Py_Exit` (and the main interpreter) now override the exit status
|

with 120 if flushing buffered data failed. See :issue:`5319`.

CPython bytecode changes
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
There have been several major changes to the :term:`bytecode` in Python 3.6.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Python interpreter now uses a 16-bit wordcode instead of bytecode.
|
||||
(Contributed by Demur Rumed with input and reviews from
|
||||
Serhiy Storchaka and Victor Stinner in :issue:`26647` and :issue:`28050`.)
|
||||
|
||||
* The new :opcode:`FORMAT_VALUE` and :opcode:`BUILD_STRING` opcodes as part
|
||||
of the :ref:`formatted string literal <whatsnew36-pep498>` implementation.
|
||||
(Contributed by Eric Smith in :issue:`25483` and
|
||||
Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`27078`.)
|
||||
|
||||
* The new :opcode:`BUILD_CONST_KEY_MAP` opcode to optimize the creation
|
||||
of dictionaries with constant keys.
|
||||
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`27140`.)
|
||||
|
||||
* The function call opcodes have been heavily reworked for better performance
|
||||
and simpler implementation.
|
||||
The :opcode:`MAKE_FUNCTION`, :opcode:`CALL_FUNCTION`,
|
||||
:opcode:`CALL_FUNCTION_KW` and :opcode:`BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL` opcodes
|
||||
have been modified, the new :opcode:`CALL_FUNCTION_EX` and
|
||||
:opcode:`BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK_WITH_CALL` have been added, and
|
||||
``CALL_FUNCTION_VAR``, ``CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW`` and ``MAKE_CLOSURE`` opcodes
|
||||
have been removed.
|
||||
(Contributed by Demur Rumed in :issue:`27095`, and Serhiy Storchaka in
|
||||
:issue:`27213`, :issue:`28257`.)
|
||||
|
||||
* The new :opcode:`SETUP_ANNOTATIONS` and :opcode:`STORE_ANNOTATION` opcodes
|
||||
have been added to support the new :term:`variable annotation` syntax.
