Hi Folks:

Silly error. I didn't notice that targetdemo.py was updated: the API changed! Using the latest version as an example, I got my example to work. Yeah!


Thanks to everyone for the help!

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

In case you want to avoid having to hack at RPython: by now, you can
also compile the full PyPy with transactions enabled.  You just get a
PyPy with no GC at all (so it cannot run for more than a few seconds
before running out of memory).  You then get a sane interface from the
built-in module 'transaction', and don't have to write any RPython
code.

I use the following command line (it's very fast and doesn't require
too much RAM, because of no GC):

./translate.py -O1 --gc=none --stm targetpypystandalone.py
--no-allworkingmodules --withmod-transaction


A bientôt,

Armin.
