Quickstart ========== (1) code.h goes into Python-2.5.2/Include, codeobject.c should be copied into Python-2.5.2/Objects and ceval* into Python-2.5.2/Python. (2) Build Python: configure && make (3) Re-compile Python/ceval.c with -fno-gcse. E.g. touch Python/ceval.c followed by make OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -fno-gcse -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes' python Details ======= The various ceval-*.i files are generated by Vmgen and a few AWK scripts. ceval.vmg contains the VM instruction descriptions which Vmgen uses to generate ceval-disasm.i, ceval-gen.i, ceval-labels.i, ceval-peephole.i, and ceval-vm.i. ceval-vm.i is then post-processed for increased readability by mangler.awk. ceval-translate.i and ceval-disasm-bytes.i are generated by two five line AWK scripts which are available upon request. To obtain Vmgen, install Gforth 0.6.2 and apply prims2x.patch (a trivial single character change which will probably be incorporated into future versions of Vmgen). Failing testcases ================= test_doctest (2 of 419) test_hotshot (1 of 4) test_inspect (1 of 41) test_subprocess (1 of 44) test_trace (34 of 40) Questions ========= Mail to cadr4u@gmail.com welcome!
