Hi Alex,
I'd looked around a bit but could only find vague references to CINT, and it wasn't even clear to me whether a full CINT backend really existed or it was just a hack/experiment.
it's quite alive; in high energy physics, Reflex is only used by mapping Reflex information into CINT, then use it from CINT. Is historic, though, and not recommended in general.
Is it actually suitable for general-purpose use?
If you're willing to install all of ROOT? (Or a minimal version anyway?) On the one hand, I'd argue against that; on the other, ROOT is available in many science sections of Linux distro's as well as in MacPorts, so it's not that big of a deal. But also the run-time dependencies increase. Anyway, the Reflex backend is the default precisely b/c it does not add any further dependencies. Also, CINT per se does not provide what you want (the code that allows compiling in extra parts is in ROOT proper).
If so, I'd certainly be happy to try it.. how would one go about switching to using the CINT backend instead of Reflex?
Is documented here, can only be done "builtin": http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/cppyy_backend.html I never made a standalone libcppyy_backend library for CINT, as I don't expect there to be any use (physicists in HEP use by and large only releases provided by their experiments' software group; and CINT should be on its way out now that we have Cling largely working).
