In #26160, the performance of
broadcast_shapes
was improved by replacing adtype=[]
withdtype=bool
. The reason this worked is that the conversion is faster (i.e.,np.dtype(bool)
is faster thannp.dtype([])
, but this has the side effect that empty arrays real sizes are created - and hencebroadcast_shapes
is now considerable slower than it was for large-sized arrays. This PR changes it to a definition of the dtype outside of the function, which has the best of both worlds:
