I merged the hpy-0.9 branch to py3.9. There are a few untranslated
failures, and more extra_tests post-translation failures. Most of the
extra_test failures are in the debug/trace/hpy_devel/importing tests
which cannot really be checked untranslated. Help is welcome to try to
debug if the failures are due to using pytest4.0, to something in the
test harnesses, or whether there is an actual problem with the hpy
backend implementation.
Additionally, the branch crashes when importing NumPy from the hpy
branch https://github.com/hpyproject/numpy-hpy. This is being tracked in
issue https://github.com/hpyproject/numpy-hpy/issues/15. It seems the
custom trace function necessary to keep the W_Root object associated
with a HPyField is not being called. Again: help here is welcome.
I can meet up on zoom or google meet if anyone would like to dive in and
wants to talk about the problems.
