ah sorry. You wrote ConstAddr but I actually read ConstPtr (i.e., ConstObj for 
ootype). Indeed, ConstAddr is not used at all by ootype, so there should be no 
problem (at least in this respect :-)).

Because the blackhole interpreter doesn't use ConstXxx at all.  The
constants are now encoded directly in the jitcode -- in three lists, a
list of integers, a list of references, and a list of float.  There is
almost no ConstXxx prebuilt any more.  It seemed like a waste to need a
fourth list just for addresses when they would fit in the list of
integer constants too, hence I did AddressAsInt.  It's a rather natural
thing to do for lltype, given that we could already convert between
addresses and integers at runtime.

I'm a bit confused, btw: I thought that ootype did not need ConstAddr at
all, because it used ConstObj for all pointer-ish things.


A bientot,

Armin.

I didn't look at the branch deeply, but the last sentence looks suspiciously 
hard/impossible to implement in ootype.  Could you explain why ConstAdrr were 
bad please?
