描述
Iteration over tuples and short lists is quite inefficient as we need to create an iterator object, only to have to destroy it again moments later. Not only that, fetching values from iterators involves additional indirection compared to fetching them from sequences.
Instead we can push a pair of values to the stack. For common sequences, like tuple, list, strings, some ranges and a few others, we push the sequence and the integer index (initially 0) to the stack. For other iterables, we push the iterator and NULL.
GET_ITER will have the signature:
iterable -- iter, index_or_null
FOR_ITER now has the signature:
iter, index_or_null -- iter, index_or_null, next.
What makes this efficient is tagged integers. By using tagged integers, no objects need to be created.
Examples
GET_ITER
[ <tuple at ...> ] -> [ <tuple at ...>, 0 ]
[ <file at ...> ] -> [ <file iterator at ...>, NULL ]
FOR_ITER
[ <tuple at ...>, 0 ] -> [ <tuple at ...>, 1, item0 ]
[ <file iterator at ...>, NULL ] -> [ <file iterator at ...>, NULL, line ]

调研方向
从关联的 PR gh-132555、gh-132592、gh-135063 和 gh-135137 开始,确定当前的实现状态,然后追踪此处描述的 GET_ITER 和 FOR_ITER 栈签名。完成的标准是:常见序列使用带标签的整数索引而不使用迭代器对象,而其他可迭代对象保留一个迭代器和 NULL。
