Allow to show specialized bytecode via dis CLI

[picnixz]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

It's already possible to show specialized bytecode using dis.dis(code, adaptive=True) but it's not possible to do it from the CLI. I think we can add a flag -S that does it (most of the other flags are exposed to the CLI).

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

Doesn't bytecode only get specialized after it is run? The CLI will show bytecode for code that's never run, so it will never be specialized.

The CLI will show bytecode for code that's never run, so it will never be specialized.

Actually, dis.dis(adaptive=True) does show specialized bytecode. Or maybe I'm not using the correct terminology? For instance, a simple x = None shows a LOAD_CONST and not a LOAD_CONST_IMMORTAL, which is what I found weird.

An example:

Non-specialized bytecode

echo 'x = None' | ./python -m dis
  0           RESUME                   0

  1           LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
              STORE_NAME               0 (x)
              LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
              RETURN_VALUE

Specialized bytecode

echo 'x = None' | ./python -m dis -S
  0           RESUME                   0

  1           LOAD_CONST_IMMORTAL      0 (None)
              STORE_NAME               0 (x)
              LOAD_CONST_IMMORTAL      0 (None)
              RETURN_VALUE
