No.  The subprojects I mentioned are the "ffistruct" branch
introducing a new built-in module by Antonio, and a different design
document by Alex Gaynor (I don't even remember where?..).  These two
and the LuaJIT FFI are about C, not C++.

The C++ side is being worked on from a different angle by Wim; see
recent pypy-dev mails about cppyy.  It's an interface that requires in
all cases a C++ compiler, which I imagine is completely unavoidable
for C++.


A bientôt,

Armin.
