I was trying to run the test file: pypy/jit/backend/x86/test/test_rx86_64_auto_encoding.py
and was getting the following traceback: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/374129/ If you look at the comment on line 17, it's trying to allocate much more memory than I have. I think it's a total of 21GB, while I only have 4GB. I'm using 64bit OpenSuSE 11.4 for my operating system. I had the kernel setting overcommit_memory set to 0 (which may be part of the problem). Anyway, after I went into ll2ctypes.py and set far_regions to True, I was able to successfully run the original test. I don't think setting far_regions to True is the correct solution to the problem, but fiddling with kernel settings on my system is not ideal either. What would be a better overall solution? If any clarification is needed let me know, Joe _______________________________________________ pypy-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
