Re: [pypy-dev] Looking for clues to consistent Seg Fault in PyPy 2.6.1

Hi Jeff,

Ah, I think I understand now what is going on. The special-casing for PyPy should not be needed at all, but when I removed it, I get assertion failures. Now I get the reason---yes, it is yet another bug inside cpyext, caused by yet another access pattern of "PyObject *" that is somehow unusual but should be allowed.

I can try to fix it inside cpyext, and then the "if IS_PYPY" cases in proxy.pxi should be removed. (I'm unsure if it is easy to change them to "if the version of PyPy is <= 2.6.1"...)

We define it as a string (in pypy/module/cpyext/include/patchlevel.h) #define PYPY_VERSION "2.6.0-alpha0" -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
