Re: [pypy-dev] RPython as a separate package

2014-04-15 Thread Bogdan Opanchuk
Hi Benjamin, Thank you, I've seen it in the repo. But one still cannot install it as a separate package, say, in CPython, and it's not even available as a package in the PyPy itself (it's only used at build stage, as far as I understand). Are there any plans to complete the splitting and make it a

[pypy-dev] RPython as a separate package

2014-04-15 Thread Bogdan Opanchuk
Hello, I would like to use the RPython toolchain in my project. The problem is, RPython is currently hidden inside PyPy and therefore not readily available. I found this thread https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2012-October/010602.html which goes as far as to state "Note that the fact of

Hi Armin, I just built on Mac OS 10.9 using gcc-4.9 from Homebrew. Other than a bit of fooling around (Apparently, setting DEFAULT_CC in darwin.py is a bad idea. Things fall apart.), it translated the nop example just fine. It’s also in the process of translating pypy, just for kicks. I’m trans

Very interesting. We "may" have an interest in it on PPC as well and, if so, perhaps we can share our findings and see if we might get the branch moving again. - Mike -Original Message- From: David Edelsohn [mailto:dje@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 8:49 AM To: Maciej Fij

2014-04-15 Thread David Edelsohn
Some students from Unicamp and I are working to update the PowerPC branch. The earlier effort stalled when the port encountered a garbage collection corruption that neither I nor the PyPy core developers could solve. Some additional GC debugging aids have since been added, but by that time, I and

2014-04-15 Thread Armin Rigo
Hi OS/X'ers, I see in rpython/translator/platform/darwin.py that we use only "clang" as the compiler on OS/X. There was some discussion in #pypy, as well as a proposal from Andrew Dalke to upgrade the gcc on the OS/X buildbot, which go along the lines of "clang is not necessarily always better th
