Hello Carl, Thanks for your response. I am currently trying to do my thesis. My long term goal is to create a binding of pypy with mmtk ( https://github.com/mmtk/mmtk-core) so that I can test some of the memory manager written in this mmtk platform on pypy. In order to do that at first I have to able to write a pypy memory manager like incminimark that can communicate with the rest of the compiler and extract all information that is needed for a memory manager to function well. Then I will write an api for mmtk and pass those information to mmtk platform so that it can use its memory manager to perform garbage collection for pypy. In that way I would be able to test how new garbage collection algorithms behave in pypy and if I am lucky then I will find some possible imporvements.
Any suggestion given by anyone will be much appreciated.
