[C++-sig] Py++ - code freeze

[Roman Yakovenko]

Hi all. I am going to freeze source code and to prepare it for another
release. I believe it will take some time. The code itself in a good shape -
it passes almost all unit tests and few external big projects. There were a
lot of changes and I will try to document all of them.

Recently I worked on performance. I believe Py++ is now 30-50% faster.

The first improvement comes from pygccxml - standard XML SAX parser was
replaced with cElementTree iterparse functionality. The old parser is still
available and will be used if cElementTree is not available. Here you can
find some information about cElementTree benchmarks:
http://effbot.org/zone/celementtree.htm#benchmarks<http://effbot.org/zone/celementtree.htm#downloads>

The second one comes from caching some intermediate result during code
generation + creating a repository of md5 sum of generated file. Thus next
time you generate code, Py++ can use the repository and compare md5 sums,
instead of file content. You have to explicitly to enable this
functionality:

    mb = module_builder_t( ... )
    ...
    mb.split_module( ..., use_files_sum_repository=True )


I ask you to try SVN version of Py++ and report any problem with it.

Thanks
