Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
When the tier 2 optimizer can prove that an operand to a float binary operation is uniquely referenced, we can mutate it in place instead of allocating a new PyFloatObject. This avoids a PyFloat_FromDouble allocation and the subsequent deallocation of the consumed operand on every iteration.
The unique reference tracking infrastructure added in #144300 can be used for the float operations as well. Also see #90530 where a similar optimization was proposed for tier 1 using runtime refcount checks.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
