The pypy-stm branch has no GIL in the implementation, but its behavior is equivalent to the GIL. I can't answer your questions without knowing exactly what you're planning. Sorry if I forgot, I know you mentioned it several times here. I still have a hard time figuring out the real goal, rather than implementation details. For example, "I want to implement what is described in paper X about language Y" is often unrelated to "can I use pypy-stm's GIL approach". > 3) Do I have access to low-level atomic operations (I don't think the > high-level transaction module gives me access)? rpython.rlib.atomic_ops. Note however that the core of pypy-stm is directly implemented in C, not in RPython. > 4) Does stackless features work with pypy-stm (I haven't yet been successful > in compiling a pypy-stm branch so I can't test this out myself). I guess not right now, but that should be easy if someone cares.
