Since blocks will only return a populated
Vec
when dealing with aPyInstruction
, could we make this accept apy
token regardless? It is very likely that the user here will have obtained the GIL whenever they want to play with an instance ofPyInstruction
, it's all within the name after all.I saw your previous comments when discussing with Jake about keeping this consistent. However, in this case, this method is only supposed to work with one type of operation, one that specifically holds a
PyObject
and is tied quite closely with python, and even then it is not guaranteed to be an instance ofControlFlowOp
. The function itself will also perform callbacks to python and obtaining the GIL manually might prove itself costly here (it would be nice to benchmark it beforehand to see if this holds true).There was a problem hiding this comment.

It's the case that right now
blocks
comes from Python, but once we've ported control flow operations to Rust that goes away. I don't see a compelling reason to ask for a Python token at theOperation
level forblocks
but not for its other methods, so I'd rather be consistent to avoid implying to code readers that there's some logical difference betweenOperation::blocks
and say,Operation::matrix
.In the case of performance, having the GIL already means that
with_gil
will return fastest (as opposed to not holding it). And, we don't even try to acquire it unless this is a control flow operation, so the penalty to callingwith_gil
withinOperation::blocks
would scale with respect to the number of control flow operations in the circuit, rather than the number of op nodes.
