In case the data to compress/decompress is inside the nursery +(incminimark) it no longer needs to create a non-moving copy of it. This saves +one `malloc` and copying the data. Additionally a new GC environment variable +is introduced (`PYPY_GC_MAX_PINNED`) primarily for debugging purposes. _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
