It does not have to learn such flags. It already knows too many of them \"which could just be passed through\".\n- only test for `!= ''` rather than a specific value.\n- no magic defaults - explicit is better than implicit. If it is there, it's enabled, else it's disabled.\n- but document like `set WITH_COMPUTED_GOTOS=true`\n- this would give us the possibility to opt out using `WITH_COMPUTED_GOTOS=false`, should we ever enable it by default (and the user does not like our guess)\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-131279\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/chris-eibl","@type":"Person","name":"chris-eibl"},"datePublished":"2025-03-15T11:30:33.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/131278/cpython/issues/131278"}
