Hi,

  i'm not sure if this is the correct mailing list as this is more a
  question of "developing with" than "developing of" pypy.

  I made some tests with cppyy and it looks promising but I have some
  questions/comments.

  preface: Tested with trunk and the reflex-support branch.
           building with:
   python translate.py -O jit --gcrootfinder=shadowstack \
             targetpypystandalone.py --withmod-cppyy
   64-bit linux , gcc 4.6.1

  1) During build/translation there were several errors
     like "undefined reference to `Reflex::Member::~Member()".
     This was caused by not linking against libReflex.
     With some modifications (some insertions of
     (lib,"Reflex") e.g. ) in  pypy/translator/tool/cbuild.py
     i got a working (but see later) module. But what's the correct
     way of doing the build. The "cppyy use case question" thread
     mentions the problem but i didn't see the solution.

  2) On importing some wrapped "c++ libs" the displayed error is very
     generic. The following patch gave me some hints what's wrong .

    try:
        cdll = capi.c_load_dictionary(name)
    except rdynload.DLOpenError, e:
-     raise OperationError(space.w_RuntimeError, space.wrap(str(e)))
+     raise OperationError(space.w_RuntimeError,space.wrap(str(e.msg)))

   3) playing with operators.h in pypy/module/cppyy/test/:
      (m_int made public before test)
      the following lines results with the expected output "10"
import cppyy
cppyy.load_reflection_info('operatorsDict.so')
number = cppyy.gbl.number
n=number(10)
print n.m_int

     but if i add "virtual" to "operator==" like
virtual bool operator==(const number& n) const {return m_int == n.m_int; }
     the output is not deterministic anymore.
     This needs to be confirmed as my setup is probably not correct
     (see point 1).

   4) During one test i got the following error:
      TypeError: none of the 1 overloaded methods succeeded. Full details :
        A* B::C::methodName() =>
          AttributeError: '<type '::'>' has no attribute ''


     (A and C are types (classes), B is a namespace)
     Generally speaking: What's the best way for debugging this problem.


Regards,
  Uwe
