# cpython-0001: codegen pattern-match stores duplicate check O(S^2)
#
# In Python/codegen.c, codegen_pattern_helper_store_name() and the
# mapping-pattern loop both call PySequence_Contains(pc->stores, name)
# where pc->stores is a PyList. Each call is O(S) where S is the number
# of store names accumulated so far. Since this is called once per store
# name, the total cost is O(S^2).
#
# Fix: Use a PySet alongside pc->stores for O(1) membership checks.
# pc->stores remains a list (order matters for stack rotation), but
# a parallel set provides O(1) duplicate detection.
#
# Severity: MEDIUM — match statements with many capture variables
# (e.g., structural pattern matching on large data classes) hit O(S^2).
# At S=100 capture variables, ~5000 comparisons vs 100 set lookups.

# UNDF: (leave blank)
# cpython-0002: typeobject pmerge() tail_contains linear scan O(M^2 * K^2)
#
# In Objects/typeobject.c, the C3 MRO linearization algorithm pmerge()
# calls tail_contains() which performs a linear scan of the tail of each
# to_merge tuple to check if a candidate class appears as a non-head.
#
# The outer loop runs M times (one per MRO entry), the inner loop runs
# K times (one per merge list), and tail_contains scans up to M elements.
# Total: O(M^2 * K) where M = MRO length, K = number of direct bases.
#
# Fix: Build a hash set of all classes that appear in tail positions
# across all merge lists. Update the set as elements are consumed.
# Reduces tail_contains from O(M) to O(1).
#
# Severity: LOW-MEDIUM — deep diamond inheritance hierarchies (e.g.,
# M=50+ with K=10 bases) are uncommon but occur in metaclass-heavy
# frameworks. At M=100, K=10: ~100,000 pointer comparisons vs 1000
# hash lookups.
