[pypy-issue] [issue1475] Needed: __pypy__.add_memory_pressure()?

[Armin Rigo]

New submission from Armin Rigo <armin.rigo at gmail.com>:

With CFFI, we need occasionally to say that some cdata object keeps alive a
large amount of memory (even though it doesn't contain it).  This could be done
either with an explicit call at app-level to a new function
__pypy__.add_memory_pressure(), or with a more CFFI-specific solution, like an
extra argument to ffi.gc().
