Hi, I'm sure you all know that translating pypy requires a large amount of RAM.
It has been my experience that GCC also uses a large amount of RAM when compiling, about 4G. Is it possible to get python/pypy to stop once it has written the source files and then to run that build process separately, thus avoiding having both pypy and gcc in memory at the same time? This is on FreeBSD/amd64: # gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: amd64-undermydesk-freebsd Configured with: FreeBSD/amd64 system compiler Thread model: posix gcc version 4.2.2 20070831 prerelease [FreeBSD] I've observed similar behavior using other versions of gcc. Clang does not exhibit this problem. Regards, David _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
