Hi, The somepbc-refactoring branch has been merged. Thanks to Michael for participation! What is still broken: * pypy/bin/translator.py -- the Translator class is going away, the functionality we need should probably be moved into this bin/translator.py for now. But ideally this should be replaced by an interface based on translator/goal/driver.py. * pdbplus, the pdb extension you get at the end of translate_pypy.py, has probably commands that need fixing. * translate_pypy --backend=llvm crashes apparently when building non-standalone targets; standalone targets appear to work fine (didn't try the whole of PyPy, however). All llvm tests work too, so it's hard to understand exactly what the problem is. * Christian: we did not completely port your r19917 because it needs some adaptations to the new world. The Translator class is being replaced by a much thinner TranslationContext. Most importantly, your changes to translator/c/pyobj.py haven't been merged -- they will also need adaptation to work on graphs instead of functions, as we did for the rest of pyobj.py. It was also difficult to know exactly what was needed because of the absence of tests. However, there is a tag of the trunk before we merged, so that a working pypy with your changes is still in http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/tag/dist-ext-someobject . That's it ! A bientot, Armin & Samuele (& Michael, sadly not on-line when we merged -- or more probably happily so :-)
