[pypy-dev] JIT not kicking in for callbacks

[Eleytherios Stamatogiannakis]

Hello,

I'm not sure, but i think that the JIT doesn't kick in when the loops 
are "external", where C-code does the loop and calls Python code for 
each iteration, through CFFI callbacks. In our code, we have SQLite, 
calling Python code through callbacks.

Using the loop log:

PYPYLOG=log pypy mterm.py

i see this summary:

If i read that correctly, most of the execution time is in the 
interpreter and not in the JITed code. Is there some way where i can 
"hint" to pypy that a callback is essentially the inside of a loop, so 
PyPy can JIT it?.

I've attached the simple log from which above summary has been produced via:

python logparser.py print-summary log.log -
