I haven't heard much about using PyPy with LLVM recently, and just wanted to know what the status of it was. Was there ever much of an improvement in using PyPy with LLVM for code generation? Does the binary install of PyPy use LLVM? Thanks for the info, Timothy -- “One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that–lacking zero–they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.” (Robert Firth)

Hi PyPy's LLVM backend has been tried and discontinued several times, because we always run into some LLVM limitations or bugs or both. It would probably be interesting to try again at some time, to *actually* see what the improvements would be. Cheers, fijal
