Hello.
I am new to PyPy.
I managed to write a few RPython programs and translate them with PyPy
translate.
As a few others have noticed, as well, (see for example
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2010-December/006616.html,
http://grokbase.com/t/python/pypy-dev/124mqreh2r/output-readable-c and
https://bugs.pypy.org/issue1220), the generated C code is very cryptic (when compared to
the input RPython script).
As far as I understand, this is so because of the following facts:
- the RPython code gets compiled to Python bytecode and then translated to more basic
operations (an IR which I think it does not have a particular name in the PyPy toolchain -
or does it? :) )
- heavy optimizations are being applied on this IR before generating
code with the C backend.
So, is there any simple way to generate more readable C code (more similar, if
possible, to RPython script) - maybe some translate.py options I am missing?
Thank you,
Alex
