Type of Changes
Description
If the
modname
argument is None, which it is a lot, since it's the default, it's okay to use the cache; there's no point in recreating the requested module every time.Closes #2041
See discussion on #2041 and duplicate issue #2124 for how this was sourced to #1747.
Not suggesting a backport or changelog; there's an argument that the astroid cache is public, but not a slam-dunk one, hence, this is really just a performance optimization I'd suggest just describing with all the 3.0 performance changes (which I suggest doing when the release is finalized).
