See `numpy-status`_ page for the automatic report. +* It is now possible to create and manipulate C-like structures using the + PyPy-only ``_ffi`` module. The advantage over using e.g. ``ctypes`` is that + ``_ffi`` is very JIT-friendly, and getting/setting of fields is translated + to few assembler instructions by the JIT. + * The non-x86 backends for the JIT are progressing but are still not merged (ARMv7 and PPC64). _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
