Hi all, I'm going to merge the "opt-option" branch; I'll write a blog post entry when it's done. It removes the "--faassen" and "--allopts" options to translate.py and adds instead the "--opt=#" option, which can also be spelled "-O#", where "#" is one of 0, 1, size, mem, 2 or 3. Levels from 0 to 3 are trade-offs between the time+memory it takes to translate, and the efficiency of the produced executable. Levels "size" and "mem" try (or should try in the future) to minimize the executable size and the runtime memory usage, respectively. The level is a global option of translate.py but it also influences PyPy-specific options in targetpypystandalone.py; for example, a bit arbitrarily, geninterp is disabled with -O0. The specific config options enabled or disabled by each level can depend on e.g. the selected backend; see the two functions set_opt_level() and set_pypy_opt_level().
We have a number of open branches; does it make sense, in an effort to reduce confusion, to apply this change to some of them too? A bientot, Armin _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
