Re: seeking pypy gc configuring guideline

Hello Carl,
Thanks for your response. I am currently trying to do my thesis. My long
term goal is to create a binding of pypy with mmtk (
https://github.com/mmtk/mmtk-core) so that I can test some of the memory
manager written in this mmtk platform on pypy. In order to do that at first
I have to able to write a pypy memory manager like incminimark that can
communicate with the rest of the compiler and extract all information that
is needed for a memory manager to function well. Then I will write an api
for mmtk and pass those information to mmtk platform so that it can use its
memory manager to perform garbage collection for pypy. In that way I would
be able to test how new garbage collection algorithms behave in pypy and if
I am lucky then I will find some possible imporvements.

Any suggestion given by anyone will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Raihan

What I understand from that is, if I want to understand how pypy gc works and if i want to write my own version of GC at first I have to understand all the tests written on rpython/memory. I will now look extensively into that.

Suppose gc_test_base.py written in rpython/memory/test not only uses modules written in rpython.memory but also uses modules like llinterp from rpython.rtyper. As I don't know how those modules work how do I figure out their function written in the test codes? Do you have any suggestions for someone who is facing this issue?
