os_read & rposix.c_read
by John Zhang Jan. 18, 2017

Jan. 18, 2017

Hi all, Anyone knows why pypy.module._file.readinto uses a locally defined ‘os_read’ rather than rpython.rlib.rposix.c_read? It seems that the functions are defined almost the same way, except one uses rffi.CCHARP the other uses rffi.VOIDP, and the rposix.c_read has a more complete ExternalCompilationInfo. Whilst this doesn’t pose any problem to C backend, it does cause a small trouble in my Mu VM backend, as the two external functions have deemed different even though they are the same, thus causing a name conflict. The fix is simple in either case: use c_read in _file.readinto, or I just add a small hack in my backend. But I’d like to know why this is the case in the first place, is there a special reason for it?

Fwd: Re: Adding init/variables to W_Root

RevDB
by Armin Rigo Jan. 14, 2017

Jan. 14, 2017

Hi all, RevDB (https://bitbucket.org/pypy/revdb), the reverse debugger, was updated to 5.6.x. It contains a few RevDB-specific fixes as well. See the new tag RevDB-pypy2.7-v5.6.1 in the repository, or on direct download at https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/downloads?tab=tags . Please contact me if you'd really like Windows support. A bientôt, Armin.

Somebody has already provided code objects in assemble_loop of x86/ assembler.py !
by Shubha Ramani Jan. 8, 2017

Jan. 8, 2017

I just downloaded the pypy code. Please inspect the following log and search for 'code object'. This is the exact data which vtune needs ! How did this happen ? Was it there all along ? Did someone justadd this (perhaps Armin himself) ? The signature for 'assemble_loop' has not changed between the vtune branch (last April) and now. I'm confused. Also we need the same functionality in 'assemble_bridge'. Would it be hard to add loopname to'assemble_bridge' ? The reason I am assuming assemble_bridge needs the same info is becausein the vtune_branch the vtune API was called from assemble_loop and assemble_bridge. def assemble_loop(self, jd_id, unique_id, logger, loopname, inputargs, operations, looptoken, log): def assemble_bridge(self, faildescr, inputargs, operations, original_loop_token, log, logger):

jitlog.MARK_TRACE_OPT in do_compile_bridge and do_compile_loop of compile.py
by Shubha Ramani Jan. 6, 2017

Jan. 6, 2017

I'm thinking that jitlog.MARK_TRACE_OPT is the only marker I need to keep track of as I'm dumping pycode (overloading execute_frame as vmprof does). When I see a MARK_TRACE_OPT, I just walk backward to find the closest pycode dump. This will give me the actual source code lines that was JITTED. Would this approach work ? Thanks, SHubha

how do we jump from pypy/interpreter to rpython ?

I see space.call_function() but how exactly do we end up in the rpython directory of code ?

How do you pass in data from pypy interpreter to backend ?
by Shubha Ramani Jan. 4, 2017

Jan. 4, 2017

I've really been struggling with this. For instance pycode from pyframe. I would like to pass along a data structure containing pycode tidbits all the way to the background but cannot figure out a way. Any clues would be appreciated ! Shubha
