The switch cases (really TARGET(opcode) macros) have been moved from ceval.c to generated_cases.c.h. That file is generated from instruction definitions in bytecodes.c (which impersonates a C file so the C code it contains can be edited without custom support in e.g. VS Code). The code generator lives in Tools/cases_generator (it has a README.md explaining how it works). The DSL used to describe the instructions is a work in progress, described in https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/blob/main/3.12/interpreter_definition.md. This is surely a work-in-progress. An easy next step could be auto-generating super-instructions. **IMPORTANT: Merge Conflicts** If you get a merge conflict for instruction implementations in ceval.c, your best bet is to port your changes to bytecodes.c. That file looks almost the same as the original cases, except instead of `TARGET(NAME)` it uses `inst(NAME)`, and the trailing `DISPATCH()` call is omitted (the code generator adds it automatically). |

This directory contains files that wouldn't fit in elsewhere. Some
