Sorry, I don't understand you...

What I said in more details: "lib_pypy/_ctypes/array.py" line 20,
setvalue(): this can be done more efficiently.  We can change it.  It
would improve the speed a lot.  It is not complicated, but it needs a
new function in the _rawffi module: "_rawffi.string2charp()".


A bientôt,

Armin.
