Modified: pypy/dist/pypy/rpython/robject.py Log: Bug fix (for Christian :-) to compile code like

d = {} d[x] = y

where x and y are SomeObjects. The reason is that operations manipulating PyObjects must not have a 'void' return value, even operations like 'setitem', but a PyObject one.

Thank you very much! I worked around that, but in the end, it is a bug. And btw. I discovereed a bulk of more bugs or inconsistencies, which might be tackled after I'm back from my "mission". ATM, I need to make a small addition to allow float values as dict keys. There is a lot more considerable, but I can work around all other stuff and don't want to spoil our project without discussion. The need for float comes from the lack of a primitive long type. Alternatively, I'm thinking to map the long type to some internal 64 bit type. This would make some sense, also because we also have file related code that would need this type. I will start discusions when I'm back. Adding a bit of completeness (hash on float) will probably not hurt anybody. Btw., I have meanwhile turned all their application into RPython. Although this took many new little classes, and the lack of properties was as painful as the inability to define any __xx__ methods, the result is still rather pythonic and runs at blinding speed- I'm now only 30% slower than their highly optimized Java implementation, and I guess I could get the rest for free by finishing the needed optimizations of refcounting and some other tiny things. all the best - chris -- Christian Tismer :^) <mailto:tismer@stackless.com> tismerysoft GmbH : Have a break!
