Re: [pypy-dev] [pypy-commit] pypy default: Optimize match.group('name') by making it a module dict.

Hi Alex, I don't really understand the first change of this commit. Why is it a good idea to change the groupdict of the re parser to be a module dict? There are supposed to be "not too many" module dicts, because they are promoted on read. So I don't get why this is a sensible change. Would you please add a comment to the point where the module dict is instantiated why this is a good idea, and ideally also a test_pypy_c test.

on linking to older glibc ABI's
by Ronny Pfannschmidt Jan. 11, 2013

Jan. 11, 2013

Hello, since glibc actually carries backward compatible abi versions, i just wondered if it was possible to link to those older abi versions even on new systems in order to support older systems. so i goggled a bit and found an answer on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4032373/linking-against-an-old-version-o… it appears that its enough to emit something like __asm__(".symver realpath,realpath(a)GLIBC_2.2.5"); in order to request the older symbol versions i think if instructions … [View More]

document builds on readthedocs have been failing for quite a while
by Matti Picus Jan. 7, 2013

Jan. 7, 2013

Looking at https://readthedocs.org/builds/pypy shows that builds of pypy documentation have been failing Actually, the failures are not recent, as far back as Dec 1 the builds were failing, when I checked just now this page shows successful builds https://readthedocs.org/builds/pypy/?page=46 while here they began to fail https://readthedocs.org/builds/pypy/?page=45 (your mileage may vary, I think the page numbers change over time) The sphinx failure seems to say something about vanilla (yum!… [View More]

windows build crashing - command line too long
by matti picus Jan. 7, 2013

Jan. 7, 2013

The number of c files in a pypy translation increased by 5, which pushed the length of the link command line over the windows limit. The solution is to use a response file instead of the command line. I will fix this over the next while unless someone else does it first, but until then expect complaints that windows translation is broken. Here is the error message: NMAKE : fatal error U1095: expanded command line ... too long

translating own language to shared lib
by Александр Рауд Jan. 4, 2013

Jan. 4, 2013

Hi! It's my very first question posted to mailing lists so please correct me if I am doing something wrong. I have subscribed to python mailing lists with araud(a)mail.ru address (which is mirrored to gmail) but I am writing from sasharaud(a)gmail.com - I don't know if it matters or not. Anyways, question is next: Is there anywhere a minimal working example of an own language translated to shared library, not standalone executable? (I saw standalone example and it worked for me, now I need … [View More]
