Hi Niklaus, you have just preceded me by about 2 hours... I would have sent a mail about rlist anyway. I've spent last days working on this topic: I tried to refactor the code for making rlist type-system specific as rtuple, rclass and others already was. It has been a bit difficult because it was my first hacking in the rpython directory: I had to read the sources carefully for understanding in deep how things works, and I'm not sure if I have completely understood the whole logic. I've just committed my work in the http://codespeak.net/svn/user/antocuni/pypy-antocuni directory. I'm not satisfied of it because it is a bit messy and I'm happy to know that now it's no longer needed because yours is surely better :-). By the way I think it has not been a waste of time because it let me to gain some knowledge of pypy's internals that will be useful in future. Niklaus Haldimann wrote:
I have two more days here at the Leysin sprint to work on lists. After that I again won't have much time to work on PyPy, so Antonio (or anyone else), you're very welcome to continue from here. I think the list code can serve as a good starting point for the other data structures. If there are any questions, I'm happy to answer them (if I can ;)).
Sure, I'll be happy to continue from here: it is much better than starting from scratch as I supposed to do! :-) I think you've saved me from a lot of headaches, thanks! Remind me to offer you a beer the first time we meet ;-). ciao Anto
