Log:	Update the list of irc topics. I had to change details in the
	script that parses IRC topics, and I just noticed that it no longer
	matches the very old topics. But maybe it's not too bad anyway:
	this checkin adds the same order of magnitude of topics as it
	removes.

+"""Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue).
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+Usage:
+
+heap = []            # creates an empty heap
+heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
+item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap
+item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it
+heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time
+item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds
+                               # new item; the heap size is unchanged
+
+Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:

+- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
+  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
+  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
+
+- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
+
+These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
+without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
+maintains the heap invariant!

+
+[explanation by Fran&#65533;ois Pinard]
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

+                          Request-sent
+
+This diagram presents the following rules:
+  -- a second request may not be started until {response-headers-read}
+  -- a response [object] cannot be retrieved until {request-sent}
+  -- there is no differentiation between an unread response body and a
+     partially read response body
+
+Note: this enforcement is applied by the HTTPConnection class. The
+      HTTPResponse class does not enforce this state machine, which
+      implies sophisticated clients may accelerate the request/response
+      pipeline. Caution should be taken, though: accelerating the states
+      beyond the above pattern may imply knowledge of the server's
+      connection-close behavior for certain requests. For example, it
+      is impossible to tell whether the server will close the connection
+      UNTIL the response headers have been read; this means that further
+      requests cannot be placed into the pipeline until it is known that
+      the server will NOT be closing the connection.

+"""An extensible library for opening URLs using a variety of protocols
+
+The simplest way to use this module is to call the urlopen function,
+which accepts a string containing a URL or a Request object (described
+below).  It opens the URL and returns the results as file-like
+object; the returned object has some extra methods described below.
+
+The OpenerDirector manages a collection of Handler objects that do
+all the actual work.  Each Handler implements a particular protocol or
+option.  The OpenerDirector is a composite object that invokes the
+Handlers needed to open the requested URL.  For example, the
+HTTPHandler performs HTTP GET and POST requests and deals with
+non-error returns.  The HTTPRedirectHandler automatically deals with
+HTTP 301, 302, 303 and 307 redirect errors, and the HTTPDigestAuthHandler
+deals with digest authentication.
+
+urlopen(url, data=None) -- Basic usage is the same as original
+urllib.  pass the url and optionally data to post to an HTTP URL, and
+get a file-like object back.  One difference is that you can also pass
+a Request instance instead of URL.  Raises a URLError (subclass of
+IOError); for HTTP errors, raises an HTTPError, which can also be
+treated as a valid response.
+
+build_opener -- Function that creates a new OpenerDirector instance.
+Will install the default handlers.  Accepts one or more Handlers as
+arguments, either instances or Handler classes that it will
+instantiate.  If one of the argument is a subclass of the default
+handler, the argument will be installed instead of the default.
+
+install_opener -- Installs a new opener as the default opener.
+
+objects of interest:
+
+OpenerDirector -- Sets up the User Agent as the Python-urllib client and manages
+the Handler classes, while dealing with requests and responses.
+
+Request -- An object that encapsulates the state of a request.  The
+state can be as simple as the URL.  It can also include extra HTTP
+headers, e.g. a User-Agent.
+
+BaseHandler --
+
+exceptions:
+URLError -- A subclass of IOError, individual protocols have their own
+specific subclass.
+
+HTTPError -- Also a valid HTTP response, so you can treat an HTTP error
+as an exceptional event or valid response.
+
+internals:
+BaseHandler and parent
+_call_chain conventions
+
+Example usage:
+
+import urllib2
+
+# set up authentication info
+authinfo = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
+authinfo.add_password(realm='PDQ Application',
+                      uri='https://mahler:8092/site-updates.py',
+                      user='klem',
+                      passwd='geheim$parole')
+
+proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "http://ahad-haam:3128"})
+
+# build a new opener that adds authentication and caching FTP handlers
+opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, authinfo, urllib2.CacheFTPHandler)
+
+# install it
+urllib2.install_opener(opener)
+
+f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
+
+
+"""
+
+# XXX issues:
+# If an authentication error handler that tries to perform
+# authentication for some reason but fails, how should the error be
+# signalled?  The client needs to know the HTTP error code.  But if
+# the handler knows that the problem was, e.g., that it didn't know
+# that hash algo that requested in the challenge, it would be good to
+# pass that information along to the client, too.
+# ftp errors aren't handled cleanly
+# check digest against correct (i.e. non-apache) implementation
+
+# Possible extensions:
+# complex proxies  XXX not sure what exactly was meant by this
+# abstract factory for opener

-
-    The Taint Object Space
-    ======================
-
-    Motivation
-    ----------
-
-    The Taint Object Space provides a form of security: "tainted objects",
-    inspired by various sources, see [D12.1]_ for a more detailed discussion. 
-
-    The basic idea of this kind of security is not to protect against
-    malicious code but to help with handling and boxing sensitive data. 
-    It covers two kinds of sensitive data: secret data which should not leak, 
-    and untrusted data coming from an external source and that must be 
-    validated before it is used.
-
-    The idea is that, considering a large application that handles these
-    kinds of sensitive data, there are typically only a small number of
-    places that need to explicitly manipulate that sensitive data; all the
-    other places merely pass it around, or do entirely unrelated things.
-
-    Nevertheless, if a large application needs to be reviewed for security,
-    it must be entirely carefully checked, because it is possible that a
-    bug at some apparently unrelated place could lead to a leak of sensitive
-    information in a way that an external attacker could exploit.  For
-    example, if any part of the application provides web services, an
-    attacker might be able to issue unexpected requests with a regular web
-    browser and deduce secret information from the details of the answers he
-    gets.  Another example is the common CGI attack where an attacker sends
-    malformed inputs and causes the CGI script to do unintended things.
-
-    An approach like that of the Taint Object Space allows the small parts
-    of the program that manipulate sensitive data to be explicitly marked.
-    The effect of this is that although these small parts still need a
-    careful security review, the rest of the application no longer does,
-    because even a bug would be unable to leak the information.
-
-    We have implemented a simple two-level model: objects are either
-    regular (untainted), or sensitive (tainted).  Objects are marked as
-    sensitive if they are secret or untrusted, and only declassified at
-    carefully-checked positions (e.g. where the secret data is needed, or
-    after the untrusted data has been fully validated).
-
-    It would be simple to extend the code for more fine-grained scales of
-    secrecy.  For example it is typical in the literature to consider
-    user-specified lattices of secrecy levels, corresponding to multiple
-    "owners" that cannot access data belonging to another "owner" unless
-    explicitly authorized to do so.
-
-    Tainting and untainting
-    -----------------------
-
-    Start a py.py with the Taint Object Space and try the following example::
-
-        $ py.py -o taint
-        >>>> from __pypy__ import taint
-        >>>> x = taint(6)
-
-        # x is hidden from now on.  We can pass it around and
-        # even operate on it, but not inspect it.  Taintness
-        # is propagated to operation results.
-
-        >>>> x
-        TaintError
-
-        >>>> if x > 5: y = 2   # see below
-        TaintError
-
-        >>>> y = x + 5         # ok
-        >>>> lst = [x, y]
-        >>>> z = lst.pop()
-        >>>> t = type(z)       # type() works too, tainted answer
-        >>>> t
-        TaintError
-        >>>> u = t is int      # even 'is' works
-        >>>> u
-        TaintError
-
-    Notice that using a tainted boolean like ``x > 5`` in an ``if``
-    statement is forbidden.  This is because knowing which path is followed
-    would give away a hint about ``x``; in the example above, if the
-    statement ``if x > 5: y = 2`` was allowed to run, we would know
-    something about the value of ``x`` by looking at the (untainted) value
-    in the variable ``y``.
-
-    Of course, there is a way to inspect tainted objects.  The basic way is
-    to explicitly "declassify" it with the ``untaint()`` function.  In an
-    application, the places that use ``untaint()`` are the places that need
-    careful security review.  To avoid unexpected objects showing up, the
-    ``untaint()`` function must be called with the exact type of the object
-    to declassify.  It will raise ``TaintError`` if the type doesn't match::
-
-        >>>> from __pypy__ import taint
-        >>>> untaint(int, x)
-        6
-        >>>> untaint(int, z)
-        11
-        >>>> untaint(bool, x > 5)
-        True
-        >>>> untaint(int, x > 5)
-        TaintError
-
-
-    Taint Bombs
-    -----------
-
-    In this area, a common problem is what to do about failing operations.
-    If an operation raises an exception when manipulating a tainted object,
-    then the very presence of the exception can leak information about the
-    tainted object itself.  Consider::
-
-        >>>> 5 / (x-6)
-
-    By checking if this raises ``ZeroDivisionError`` or not, we would know
-    if ``x`` was equal to 6 or not.  The solution to this problem in the
-    Taint Object Space is to introduce *Taint Bombs*.  They are a kind of
-    tainted object that doesn't contain a real object, but a pending
-    exception.  Taint Bombs are indistinguishable from normal tainted
-    objects to unprivileged code. See::
-
-        >>>> x = taint(6)
-        >>>> i = 5 / (x-6)     # no exception here
-        >>>> j = i + 1         # nor here
-        >>>> k = j + 5         # nor here
-        >>>> untaint(int, k)
-        TaintError
-
-    In the above example, all of ``i``, ``j`` and ``k`` contain a Taint
-    Bomb.  Trying to untaint it raises an exception - a generic
-    ``TaintError``.  What we win is that the exception gives little away,
-    and most importantly it occurs at the point where ``untaint()`` is
-    called, not where the operation failed.  This means that all calls to
-    ``untaint()`` - but not the rest of the code - must be carefully
-    reviewed for what occurs if they receive a Taint Bomb; they might catch
-    the ``TaintError`` and give the user a generic message that something
-    went wrong, if we are reasonably careful that the message or even its
-    presence doesn't give information away.  This might be a
-    problem by itself, but there is no satisfying general solution here:
-    it must be considered on a case-by-case basis.  Again, what the
-    Taint Object Space approach achieves is not solving these problems, but
-    localizing them to well-defined small parts of the application - namely,
-    around calls to ``untaint()``.
-
-    The ``TaintError`` exception deliberately does not include any
-    useful error messages, because they might give information away.
-    Of course, this makes debugging quite a bit harder; a difficult
-    problem to solve properly.  So far we have implemented a way to peek in a Taint
-    Box or Bomb, ``__pypy__._taint_look(x)``, and a "debug mode" that
-    prints the exception as soon as a Bomb is created - both write
-    information to the low-level stderr of the application, where we hope
-    that it is unlikely to be seen by anyone but the application
-    developer.

-    Occasionally, a more complicated computation must be performed on a
-    tainted object.  This requires first untainting the object, performing the
-    computations, and then carefully tainting the result again (including
-    hiding all exceptions into Bombs).
-
-    There is a built-in decorator that does this for you::
-
-        >>>> @__pypy__.taint_atomic
-        >>>> def myop(x, y):
-        ....     while x > 0:
-        ....         x -= y
-        ....     return x
-        ....
-        >>>> myop(42, 10)
-        -8
-        >>>> z = myop(taint(42), 10)
-        >>>> z
-        TaintError
-        >>>> untaint(int, z)
-        -8
-
-    The decorator makes a whole function behave like a built-in operation.
-    If no tainted argument is passed in, the function behaves normally.  But
-    if any of the arguments is tainted, it is automatically untainted - so
-    the function body always sees untainted arguments - and the eventual
-    result is tainted again (possibly in a Taint Bomb).
-
-    It is important for the function marked as ``taint_atomic`` to have no
-    visible side effects, as these could cause information leakage.
-    This is currently not enforced, which means that all ``taint_atomic``
-    functions have to be carefully reviewed for security (but not the
-    callers of ``taint_atomic`` functions).
-
-    A possible future extension would be to forbid side-effects on
-    non-tainted objects from all ``taint_atomic`` functions.
-
-    An example of usage: given a tainted object ``passwords_db`` that
-    references a database of passwords, we can write a function
-    that checks if a password is valid as follows::
-
-        @taint_atomic
-        def validate(passwords_db, username, password):
-            assert type(passwords_db) is PasswordDatabase
-            assert type(username) is str
-            assert type(password) is str
-            ...load username entry from passwords_db...
-            return expected_password == password
-
-    It returns a tainted boolean answer, or a Taint Bomb if something
-    went wrong.  A caller can do::
-
-        ok = validate(passwords_db, 'john', '1234')
-        ok = untaint(bool, ok)
-
-    This can give three outcomes: ``True``, ``False``, or a ``TaintError``
-    exception (with no information on it) if anything went wrong.  If even
-    this is considered giving too much information away, the ``False`` case
-    can be made indistinguishable from the ``TaintError`` case (simply by
-    raising an exception in ``validate()`` if the password is wrong).
-
-    In the above example, the security results achieved are the following:
-    as long as ``validate()`` does not leak information, no other part of
-    the code can obtain more information about a passwords database than a
-    Yes/No answer to a precise query.
-
-    A possible extension of the ``taint_atomic`` decorator would be to check
-    the argument types, as ``untaint()`` does, for the same reason: to
-    prevent bugs where a function like ``validate()`` above is accidentally
-    called with the wrong kind of tainted object, which would make it
-    misbehave.  For now, all ``taint_atomic`` functions should be
-    conservative and carefully check all assumptions on their input
-    arguments.
-

-
-    Interface
-    ---------
-
-    .. _`like a built-in operation`:
-
-    The basic rule of the Tainted Object Space is that it introduces two new
-    kinds of objects, Tainted Boxes and Tainted Bombs (which are not types
-    in the Python sense).  Each box internally contains a regular object;
-    each bomb internally contains an exception object.  An operation
-    involving Tainted Boxes is performed on the objects contained in the
-    boxes, and gives a Tainted Box or a Tainted Bomb as a result (such an
-    operation does not let an exception be raised).  An operation called
-    with a Tainted Bomb argument immediately returns the same Tainted Bomb.
-
-    In a PyPy running with (or translated with) the Taint Object Space,
-    the ``__pypy__`` module exposes the following interface:
-
-    * ``taint(obj)``
-
-        Return a new Tainted Box wrapping ``obj``.  Return ``obj`` itself
-        if it is already tainted (a Box or a Bomb).
-
-    * ``is_tainted(obj)``
-
-        Check if ``obj`` is tainted (a Box or a Bomb).
-
-    * ``untaint(type, obj)``
-
-        Untaints ``obj`` if it is tainted.  Raise ``TaintError`` if the type
-        of the untainted object is not exactly ``type``, or if ``obj`` is a
-        Bomb.
-
-    * ``taint_atomic(func)``
-
-        Return a wrapper function around the callable ``func``.  The wrapper
-        behaves `like a built-in operation`_ with respect to untainting the
-        arguments, tainting the result, and returning a Bomb.
-
-    * ``TaintError``
-
-        Exception.  On purpose, it provides no attribute or error message.
-
-    * ``_taint_debug(level)``
-
-        Set the debugging level to ``level`` (0=off).  At level 1 or above,
-        all Taint Bombs print a diagnostic message to stderr when they are
-        created.
-
-    * ``_taint_look(obj)``
-
-        For debugging purposes: prints (to stderr) the type and address of
-        the object in a Tainted Box, or prints the exception if ``obj`` is
-        a Taint Bomb.

+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for

+
+Usage:

+heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
+item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap

+
+Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
+
+- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
+  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
+  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
+
+- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
+
+These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
+without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
+maintains the heap invariant!

+
+[explanation by Fran&#65533;ois Pinard]
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

Subject: [pypy-commit] pypy default: - add in the backend,
 for binary instructions, a memo function
Message-ID: <20111103092439.9DD65820B3@wyvern.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de>

Changeset: r48677:eb27c44ca6ad
Date: 2011-11-03 08:21 +0100
http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changeset/eb27c44ca6ad/

Log:	- add in the backend, for binary instructions, a memo function
	that returns True if there is any NAME_xy that could match. If it
	returns False we know the whole subcase can be omitted from
	translated code. Without this hack, the size of most _binaryop
	INSN functions ends up quite large in C code.

	- found out that a lot of instructions have a missing case on 64
	bits, because INSN_m used to fall back to INSN_a if the constant
	offset doesn't fit in 32 bits --- but most instructions that have
	an 'm' form don't have an 'a' form. Fixed by generating an extra
	LEA and not falling back to the 'a' form.

	- location_code() is an indirect method call for no really good
	reason. Turn it into a monomorphic method that always read a
	_location_code attribute.

Log:	Baaaaah. setjmp() cannot be called on a jmp_buf that belongs to a
	parent frame, because then longjmp()ing to it will not automatically
	recreate the subframe... Need to fix it by introducing macros
	instead of a function call.

+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+Usage:
+
+heap = []            # creates an empty heap
+heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
+item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap

+
+Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
+
+- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
+  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
+  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
+
+- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
+
+These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
+without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
+maintains the heap invariant!

+
+[explanation by Fran&#65533;ois Pinard]
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

+[explanation by Fran&#65533;ois Pinard]
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

+# The child indices of heap index pos are already heaps, and we want to make
+# a heap at index pos too.  We do this by bubbling the smaller child of
+# pos up (and so on with that child's children, etc) until hitting a leaf,
+# then using _siftdown to move the oddball originally at index pos into place.
+#
+# We *could* break out of the loop as soon as we find a pos where newitem <=
+# both its children, but turns out that's not a good idea, and despite that
+# many books write the algorithm that way.  During a heap pop, the last array
+# element is sifted in, and that tends to be large, so that comparing it
+# against values starting from the root usually doesn't pay (= usually doesn't
+# get us out of the loop early).  See Knuth, Volume 3, where this is
+# explained and quantified in an exercise.
+#
+# Cutting the # of comparisons is important, since these routines have no
+# way to extract "the priority" from an array element, so that intelligence
+# is likely to be hiding in custom __cmp__ methods, or in array elements
+# storing (priority, record) tuples.  Comparisons are thus potentially
+# expensive.
+#
+# On random arrays of length 1000, making this change cut the number of
+# comparisons made by heapify() a little, and those made by exhaustive
+# heappop() a lot, in accord with theory.  Here are typical results from 3
+# runs (3 just to demonstrate how small the variance is):
+#
+# Compares needed by heapify     Compares needed by 1000 heappops
+# --------------------------     --------------------------------
+# 1837 cut to 1663               14996 cut to 8680
+# 1855 cut to 1659               14966 cut to 8678
+# 1847 cut to 1660               15024 cut to 8703
+#
+# Building the heap by using heappush() 1000 times instead required
+# 2198, 2148, and 2219 compares:  heapify() is more efficient, when
+# you can use it.
+#
+# The total compares needed by list.sort() on the same lists were 8627,
+# 8627, and 8632 (this should be compared to the sum of heapify() and
+# heappop() compares):  list.sort() is (unsurprisingly!) more efficient

+"""HTTP/1.1 client library
+
+<intro stuff goes here>
+<other stuff, too>
+
+HTTPConnection goes through a number of "states", which define when a client
+may legally make another request or fetch the response for a particular
+request. This diagram details these state transitions:
+
+    (null)
+      |
+      | HTTPConnection()
+      v
+    Idle
+      |
+      | putrequest()
+      v
+    Request-started
+      |
+      | ( putheader() )*  endheaders()
+      v
+    Request-sent
+      |
+      | response = getresponse()
+      v
+    Unread-response   [Response-headers-read]
+      |\____________________
+      |                     |
+      | response.read()     | putrequest()
+      v                     v
+    Idle                  Req-started-unread-response
+                     ______/|
+                   /        |
+   response.read() |        | ( putheader() )*  endheaders()
+                   v        v
+       Request-started    Req-sent-unread-response
+                            |
+                            | response.read()
+                            v
+                          Request-sent
+
+This diagram presents the following rules:
+  -- a second request may not be started until {response-headers-read}
+  -- a response [object] cannot be retrieved until {request-sent}
+  -- there is no differentiation between an unread response body and a
+     partially read response body
+
+Note: this enforcement is applied by the HTTPConnection class. The
+      HTTPResponse class does not enforce this state machine, which
+      implies sophisticated clients may accelerate the request/response
+      pipeline. Caution should be taken, though: accelerating the states
+      beyond the above pattern may imply knowledge of the server's
+      connection-close behavior for certain requests. For example, it
+      is impossible to tell whether the server will close the connection
+      UNTIL the response headers have been read; this means that further
+      requests cannot be placed into the pipeline until it is known that
+      the server will NOT be closing the connection.
+
+Logical State                  __state            __response

+"""An extensible library for opening URLs using a variety of protocols
+
+The simplest way to use this module is to call the urlopen function,
+which accepts a string containing a URL or a Request object (described
+below).  It opens the URL and returns the results as file-like
+object; the returned object has some extra methods described below.
+
+The OpenerDirector manages a collection of Handler objects that do
+all the actual work.  Each Handler implements a particular protocol or
+option.  The OpenerDirector is a composite object that invokes the
+Handlers needed to open the requested URL.  For example, the
+HTTPHandler performs HTTP GET and POST requests and deals with
+non-error returns.  The HTTPRedirectHandler automatically deals with
+HTTP 301, 302, 303 and 307 redirect errors, and the HTTPDigestAuthHandler
+deals with digest authentication.
+
+urlopen(url, data=None) -- Basic usage is the same as original
+urllib.  pass the url and optionally data to post to an HTTP URL, and
+get a file-like object back.  One difference is that you can also pass
+a Request instance instead of URL.  Raises a URLError (subclass of
+IOError); for HTTP errors, raises an HTTPError, which can also be
+treated as a valid response.
+
+build_opener -- Function that creates a new OpenerDirector instance.
+Will install the default handlers.  Accepts one or more Handlers as
+arguments, either instances or Handler classes that it will
+instantiate.  If one of the argument is a subclass of the default
+handler, the argument will be installed instead of the default.
+
+install_opener -- Installs a new opener as the default opener.
+
+objects of interest:
+
+OpenerDirector -- Sets up the User Agent as the Python-urllib client and manages
+the Handler classes, while dealing with requests and responses.
+
+Request -- An object that encapsulates the state of a request.  The
+state can be as simple as the URL.  It can also include extra HTTP
+headers, e.g. a User-Agent.
+
+BaseHandler --
+
+exceptions:
+URLError -- A subclass of IOError, individual protocols have their own
+specific subclass.
+
+HTTPError -- Also a valid HTTP response, so you can treat an HTTP error
+as an exceptional event or valid response.
+
+internals:
+BaseHandler and parent
+_call_chain conventions
+
+Example usage:
+
+import urllib2
+
+# set up authentication info
+authinfo = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
+authinfo.add_password(realm='PDQ Application',
+                      uri='https://mahler:8092/site-updates.py',
+                      user='klem',
+                      passwd='geheim$parole')
+
+proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "http://ahad-haam:3128"})
+
+# build a new opener that adds authentication and caching FTP handlers
+opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, authinfo, urllib2.CacheFTPHandler)
+
+# install it
+urllib2.install_opener(opener)
+
+f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
+
+
+"""
+
+# XXX issues:
+# If an authentication error handler that tries to perform
+# authentication for some reason but fails, how should the error be
+# signalled?  The client needs to know the HTTP error code.  But if
+# the handler knows that the problem was, e.g., that it didn't know
+# that hash algo that requested in the challenge, it would be good to
+# pass that information along to the client, too.
+# ftp errors aren't handled cleanly
+# check digest against correct (i.e. non-apache) implementation
+
+# Possible extensions:
+# complex proxies  XXX not sure what exactly was meant by this
+# abstract factory for opener

-    Taint Object Space Functionality
-    ================================
-
-    When the taint object space is used (choose with :config:`objspace.name`),
-    the following names are put into ``__pypy__``:
-
-     - ``taint``
-     - ``is_tainted``
-     - ``untaint``
-     - ``taint_atomic``
-     - ``_taint_debug``
-     - ``_taint_look``
-     - ``TaintError``
-
-    Those are all described in the `interface section of the taint object space
-    docs`_.
-
-    For more detailed explanations and examples see the `taint object space docs`_.

+Mutating classes of objects which are already used as dictionary keys
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Consider the following snippet of code::
+
+    class X(object):
+        pass
+
+    def __evil_eq__(self, other):
+        print 'hello world'
+        return False
+
+    def evil(y):
+        d = {x(): 1}
+        X.__eq__ = __evil_eq__
+        d[y] # might trigger a call to __eq__?
+
+In CPython, __evil_eq__ **might** be called, although there is no way to write
+a test which reliably calls it.  It happens if ``y is not x`` and ``hash(y) ==
+hash(x)``, where ``hash(x)`` is computed when ``x`` is inserted into the
+dictionary.  If **by chance** the condition is satisfied, then ``__evil_eq__``
+is called.
+
+PyPy uses a special strategy to optimize dictionaries whose keys are instances
+of user-defined classes which do not override the default ``__hash__``,
+``__eq__`` and ``__cmp__``: when using this strategy, ``__eq__`` and
+``__cmp__`` are never called, but instead the lookup is done by identity, so
+in the case above it is guaranteed that ``__eq__`` won't be called.
+
+Note that in all other cases (e.g., if you have a custom ``__hash__`` and
+``__eq__`` in ``y``) the behavior is exactly the same as CPython.

+Can RPython modules for PyPy be translated independently?
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+No, you have to rebuild the entire interpreter.  This means two things:
+
+* It is imperative to use test-driven development.  You have to test
+  exhaustively your module in pure Python, before even attempting to
+  translate it.  Once you translate it, you should have only a few typing
+  issues left to fix, but otherwise the result should work out of the box.
+
+* Second, and perhaps most important: do you have a really good reason
+  for writing the module in RPython in the first place?  Nowadays you
+  should really look at alternatives, like writing it in pure Python,
+  using ctypes if it needs to call C code.  Other alternatives are being
+  developed too (as of summer 2011), like a Cython binding.
+
+In this context it is not that important to be able to translate
+RPython modules independently of translating the complete interpreter.
+(It could be done given enough efforts, but it's a really serious
+undertaking.  Consider it as quite unlikely for now.)

-    .. _taint:
-
-    The Taint Object Space
-    ======================
-
-    Motivation
-    ----------
-
-    The Taint Object Space provides a form of security: "tainted objects",
-    inspired by various sources, see [D12.1]_ for a more detailed discussion. 
-
-    The basic idea of this kind of security is not to protect against
-    malicious code but to help with handling and boxing sensitive data. 
-    It covers two kinds of sensitive data: secret data which should not leak, 
-    and untrusted data coming from an external source and that must be 
-    validated before it is used.
-
-    The idea is that, considering a large application that handles these
-    kinds of sensitive data, there are typically only a small number of
-    places that need to explicitly manipulate that sensitive data; all the
-    other places merely pass it around, or do entirely unrelated things.
-
-    Nevertheless, if a large application needs to be reviewed for security,
-    it must be entirely carefully checked, because it is possible that a
-    bug at some apparently unrelated place could lead to a leak of sensitive
-    information in a way that an external attacker could exploit.  For
-    example, if any part of the application provides web services, an
-    attacker might be able to issue unexpected requests with a regular web
-    browser and deduce secret information from the details of the answers he
-    gets.  Another example is the common CGI attack where an attacker sends
-    malformed inputs and causes the CGI script to do unintended things.
-
-    An approach like that of the Taint Object Space allows the small parts
-    of the program that manipulate sensitive data to be explicitly marked.
-    The effect of this is that although these small parts still need a
-    careful security review, the rest of the application no longer does,
-    because even a bug would be unable to leak the information.
-
-    We have implemented a simple two-level model: objects are either
-    regular (untainted), or sensitive (tainted).  Objects are marked as
-    sensitive if they are secret or untrusted, and only declassified at
-    carefully-checked positions (e.g. where the secret data is needed, or
-    after the untrusted data has been fully validated).
-
-    It would be simple to extend the code for more fine-grained scales of
-    secrecy.  For example it is typical in the literature to consider
-    user-specified lattices of secrecy levels, corresponding to multiple
-    "owners" that cannot access data belonging to another "owner" unless
-    explicitly authorized to do so.
-
-    Tainting and untainting
-    -----------------------
-
-    Start a py.py with the Taint Object Space and try the following example::
-
-        $ py.py -o taint
-        >>>> from __pypy__ import taint
-        >>>> x = taint(6)
-
-        # x is hidden from now on.  We can pass it around and
-        # even operate on it, but not inspect it.  Taintness
-        # is propagated to operation results.
-
-        >>>> x
-        TaintError
-
-        >>>> if x > 5: y = 2   # see below
-        TaintError
-
-        >>>> y = x + 5         # ok
-        >>>> lst = [x, y]
-        >>>> z = lst.pop()
-        >>>> t = type(z)       # type() works too, tainted answer
-        >>>> t
-        TaintError
-        >>>> u = t is int      # even 'is' works
-        >>>> u
-        TaintError
-
-    Notice that using a tainted boolean like ``x > 5`` in an ``if``
-    statement is forbidden.  This is because knowing which path is followed
-    would give away a hint about ``x``; in the example above, if the
-    statement ``if x > 5: y = 2`` was allowed to run, we would know
-    something about the value of ``x`` by looking at the (untainted) value
-    in the variable ``y``.
-
-    Of course, there is a way to inspect tainted objects.  The basic way is
-    to explicitly "declassify" it with the ``untaint()`` function.  In an
-    application, the places that use ``untaint()`` are the places that need
-    careful security review.  To avoid unexpected objects showing up, the
-    ``untaint()`` function must be called with the exact type of the object
-    to declassify.  It will raise ``TaintError`` if the type doesn't match::
-
-        >>>> from __pypy__ import taint
-        >>>> untaint(int, x)
-        6
-        >>>> untaint(int, z)
-        11
-        >>>> untaint(bool, x > 5)
-        True
-        >>>> untaint(int, x > 5)
-        TaintError
-
-
-    Taint Bombs
-    -----------
-
-    In this area, a common problem is what to do about failing operations.
-    If an operation raises an exception when manipulating a tainted object,
-    then the very presence of the exception can leak information about the
-    tainted object itself.  Consider::
-
-        >>>> 5 / (x-6)
-
-    By checking if this raises ``ZeroDivisionError`` or not, we would know
-    if ``x`` was equal to 6 or not.  The solution to this problem in the
-    Taint Object Space is to introduce *Taint Bombs*.  They are a kind of
-    tainted object that doesn't contain a real object, but a pending
-    exception.  Taint Bombs are indistinguishable from normal tainted
-    objects to unprivileged code. See::
-
-        >>>> x = taint(6)
-        >>>> i = 5 / (x-6)     # no exception here
-        >>>> j = i + 1         # nor here
-        >>>> k = j + 5         # nor here
-        >>>> untaint(int, k)
-        TaintError
-
-    In the above example, all of ``i``, ``j`` and ``k`` contain a Taint
-    Bomb.  Trying to untaint it raises an exception - a generic
-    ``TaintError``.  What we win is that the exception gives little away,
-    and most importantly it occurs at the point where ``untaint()`` is
-    called, not where the operation failed.  This means that all calls to
-    ``untaint()`` - but not the rest of the code - must be carefully
-    reviewed for what occurs if they receive a Taint Bomb; they might catch
-    the ``TaintError`` and give the user a generic message that something
-    went wrong, if we are reasonably careful that the message or even its
-    presence doesn't give information away.  This might be a
-    problem by itself, but there is no satisfying general solution here:
-    it must be considered on a case-by-case basis.  Again, what the
-    Taint Object Space approach achieves is not solving these problems, but
-    localizing them to well-defined small parts of the application - namely,
-    around calls to ``untaint()``.
-
-    The ``TaintError`` exception deliberately does not include any
-    useful error messages, because they might give information away.
-    Of course, this makes debugging quite a bit harder; a difficult
-    problem to solve properly.  So far we have implemented a way to peek in a Taint
-    Box or Bomb, ``__pypy__._taint_look(x)``, and a "debug mode" that
-    prints the exception as soon as a Bomb is created - both write
-    information to the low-level stderr of the application, where we hope
-    that it is unlikely to be seen by anyone but the application
-    developer.
-
-
-    Taint Atomic functions
-    ----------------------
-
-    Occasionally, a more complicated computation must be performed on a
-    tainted object.  This requires first untainting the object, performing the
-    computations, and then carefully tainting the result again (including
-    hiding all exceptions into Bombs).
-
-    There is a built-in decorator that does this for you::
-
-        >>>> @__pypy__.taint_atomic
-        >>>> def myop(x, y):
-        ....     while x > 0:
-        ....         x -= y
-        ....     return x
-        ....
-        >>>> myop(42, 10)
-        -8
-        >>>> z = myop(taint(42), 10)
-        >>>> z
-        TaintError
-        >>>> untaint(int, z)
-        -8
-
-    The decorator makes a whole function behave like a built-in operation.
-    If no tainted argument is passed in, the function behaves normally.  But
-    if any of the arguments is tainted, it is automatically untainted - so
-    the function body always sees untainted arguments - and the eventual
-    result is tainted again (possibly in a Taint Bomb).
-
-    It is important for the function marked as ``taint_atomic`` to have no
-    visible side effects, as these could cause information leakage.
-    This is currently not enforced, which means that all ``taint_atomic``
-    functions have to be carefully reviewed for security (but not the
-    callers of ``taint_atomic`` functions).
-
-    A possible future extension would be to forbid side-effects on
-    non-tainted objects from all ``taint_atomic`` functions.
-
-    An example of usage: given a tainted object ``passwords_db`` that
-    references a database of passwords, we can write a function
-    that checks if a password is valid as follows::
-
-        @taint_atomic
-        def validate(passwords_db, username, password):
-            assert type(passwords_db) is PasswordDatabase
-            assert type(username) is str
-            assert type(password) is str
-            ...load username entry from passwords_db...
-            return expected_password == password
-
-    It returns a tainted boolean answer, or a Taint Bomb if something
-    went wrong.  A caller can do::
-
-        ok = validate(passwords_db, 'john', '1234')
-        ok = untaint(bool, ok)
-
-    This can give three outcomes: ``True``, ``False``, or a ``TaintError``
-    exception (with no information on it) if anything went wrong.  If even
-    this is considered giving too much information away, the ``False`` case
-    can be made indistinguishable from the ``TaintError`` case (simply by
-    raising an exception in ``validate()`` if the password is wrong).
-
-    In the above example, the security results achieved are the following:
-    as long as ``validate()`` does not leak information, no other part of
-    the code can obtain more information about a passwords database than a
-    Yes/No answer to a precise query.
-
-    A possible extension of the ``taint_atomic`` decorator would be to check
-    the argument types, as ``untaint()`` does, for the same reason: to
-    prevent bugs where a function like ``validate()`` above is accidentally
-    called with the wrong kind of tainted object, which would make it
-    misbehave.  For now, all ``taint_atomic`` functions should be
-    conservative and carefully check all assumptions on their input
-    arguments.
-
-
-    .. _`taint-interface`:
-
-    Interface
-    ---------
-
-    .. _`like a built-in operation`:
-
-    The basic rule of the Tainted Object Space is that it introduces two new
-    kinds of objects, Tainted Boxes and Tainted Bombs (which are not types
-    in the Python sense).  Each box internally contains a regular object;
-    each bomb internally contains an exception object.  An operation
-    involving Tainted Boxes is performed on the objects contained in the
-    boxes, and gives a Tainted Box or a Tainted Bomb as a result (such an
-    operation does not let an exception be raised).  An operation called
-    with a Tainted Bomb argument immediately returns the same Tainted Bomb.
-
-    In a PyPy running with (or translated with) the Taint Object Space,
-    the ``__pypy__`` module exposes the following interface:
-
-    * ``taint(obj)``
-
-        Return a new Tainted Box wrapping ``obj``.  Return ``obj`` itself
-        if it is already tainted (a Box or a Bomb).
-
-    * ``is_tainted(obj)``
-
-        Check if ``obj`` is tainted (a Box or a Bomb).
-
-    * ``untaint(type, obj)``
-
-        Untaints ``obj`` if it is tainted.  Raise ``TaintError`` if the type
-        of the untainted object is not exactly ``type``, or if ``obj`` is a
-        Bomb.
-
-    * ``taint_atomic(func)``
-
-        Return a wrapper function around the callable ``func``.  The wrapper
-        behaves `like a built-in operation`_ with respect to untainting the
-        arguments, tainting the result, and returning a Bomb.
-
-    * ``TaintError``
-
-        Exception.  On purpose, it provides no attribute or error message.
-
-    * ``_taint_debug(level)``
-
-        Set the debugging level to ``level`` (0=off).  At level 1 or above,
-        all Taint Bombs print a diagnostic message to stderr when they are
-        created.
-
-    * ``_taint_look(obj)``
-
-        For debugging purposes: prints (to stderr) the type and address of
-        the object in a Tainted Box, or prints the exception if ``obj`` is
-        a Taint Bomb.

+========================
+PyPy 1.6 - kickass panda
+========================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.6 release of PyPy. This release brings a lot
+of bugfixes and performance improvements over 1.5, and improves support for
+Windows 32bit and OS X 64bit. This version fully implements Python 2.7.1 and
+has beta level support for loading CPython C extensions.  You can download it
+here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7.1. It's fast (`pypy 1.5 and cpython 2.6.2`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64 or Mac OS X.  Windows 32
+is beta (it roughly works but a lot of small issues have not been fixed so
+far).  Windows 64 is not yet supported.
+
+The main topics of this release are speed and stability: on average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.6 is between **20% and 30%** faster than PyPy 1.5,
+which was already much faster than CPython on our set of benchmarks.
+
+The speed improvements have been made possible by optimizing many of the
+layers which compose PyPy.  In particular, we improved: the Garbage Collector,
+the JIT warmup time, the optimizations performed by the JIT, the quality of
+the generated machine code and the implementation of our Python interpreter.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.5 and cpython 2.6.2`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements, overall giving considerable speedups:
+
+  - better GC behavior when dealing with very large objects and arrays
+
+  - **fast ctypes:** now calls to ctypes functions are seen and optimized
+    by the JIT, and they are up to 60 times faster than PyPy 1.5 and 10 times
+    faster than CPython
+
+  - improved generators(1): simple generators now are inlined into the caller
+    loop, making performance up to 3.5 times faster than PyPy 1.5.
+
+  - improved generators(2): thanks to other optimizations, even generators
+    that are not inlined are between 10% and 20% faster than PyPy 1.5.
+
+  - faster warmup time for the JIT
+
+  - JIT support for single floats (e.g., for ``array('f')``)
+
+  - optimized dictionaries: the internal representation of dictionaries is now
+    dynamically selected depending on the type of stored objects, resulting in
+    faster code and smaller memory footprint.  For example, dictionaries whose
+    keys are all strings, or all integers. Other dictionaries are also smaller
+    due to bugfixes.
+
+* JitViewer: this is the first official release which includes the JitViewer,
+  a web-based tool which helps you to see which parts of your Python code have
+  been compiled by the JIT, down until the assembler. The `jitviewer`_ 0.1 has
+  already been release and works well with PyPy 1.6.
+
+* The CPython extension module API has been improved and now supports many
+  more extensions. For information on which one are supported, please refer to
+  our `compatibility wiki`_.
+
+* Multibyte encoding support: this was of of the last areas in which we were
+  still behind CPython, but now we fully support them.
+
+* Preliminary support for NumPy: this release includes a preview of a very
+  fast NumPy module integrated with the PyPy JIT.  Unfortunately, this does
+  not mean that you can expect to take an existing NumPy program and run it on
+  PyPy, because the module is still unfinished and supports only some of the
+  numpy API. However, barring some details, what works should be
+  blazingly fast :-)
+
+* Bugfixes: since the 1.5 release we fixed 53 bugs in our `bug tracker`_, not
+  counting the numerous bugs that were found and reported through other
+  channels than the bug tracker.
+
+Cheers,

-``rstack``
-==========
-
-The `pypy/rlib/rstack.py`_ module allows an RPython program to control its own execution stack.
-This is only useful if the program is translated using stackless. An old
-description of the exposed functions is below.
-
-We introduce an RPython type ``frame_stack_top`` and a built-in function
-``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` that work as follows (see example below):
-
-* The built-in function ``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` causes the current
-  function's state to be captured in a new ``frame_stack_top`` object that is
-  returned to the parent.  Only one frame, the current one, is captured this
-  way.  The current frame is suspended and the caller continues to run.  Note
-  that the caller is only resumed once: when
-  ``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` is called.  See below.
-
-* A ``frame_stack_top`` object can be jumped to by calling its ``switch()``
-  method with no argument.
-
-* ``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` and ``switch()`` themselves return a new
-  ``frame_stack_top`` object: the freshly captured state of the caller of the
-  source ``switch()`` that was just executed, or None in the case described
-  below.
-
-* the function that called ``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` also has a
-  normal return statement, like all functions.  This statement must return
-  another ``frame_stack_top`` object.  The latter is *not* returned to the
-  original caller; there is no way to return several times to the caller.
-  Instead, it designates the place to which the execution must jump, as if by
-  a ``switch()``.  The place to which we jump this way will see a None as the
-  source frame stack top.
-
-* every frame stack top must be resumed once and only once.  Not resuming
-  it at all causes a leak.  Resuming it several times causes a crash.
-
-* a function that called ``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` should not raise.
-  It would have no implicit parent frame to propagate the exception to.  That
-  would be a crashingly bad idea.
-
-The following example would print the numbers from 1 to 7 in order::
-
-    def g():
-        print 2
-        frametop_before_5 = yield_current_frame_to_caller()
-        print 4
-        frametop_before_7 = frametop_before_5.switch()
-        print 6
-        return frametop_before_7
-
-    def f():
-        print 1
-        frametop_before_4 = g()
-        print 3
-        frametop_before_6 = frametop_before_4.switch()

-* Plain coroutines_.
+Continulets are extremely light-weight, which means that PyPy should be
+able to handle programs containing large amounts of them.  However, due
+to an implementation restriction, a PyPy compiled with
+``--gcrootfinder=shadowstack`` consumes at least one page of physical
+memory (4KB) per live continulet, and half a megabyte of virtual memory
+on 32-bit or a complete megabyte on 64-bit.  Moreover, the feature is
+only available (so far) on x86 and x86-64 CPUs; for other CPUs you need
+to add a short page of custom assembler to
+`pypy/translator/c/src/stacklet/`_.
 
-All of them are extremely light-weight, which means that PyPy should be
-able to handle programs containing large amounts of coroutines, tasklets
-and greenlets.
 
+Theory
+======
 
-Requirements
-++++++++++++++++
+The fundamental idea is that, at any point in time, the program happens
+to run one stack of frames (or one per thread, in case of
+multi-threading).  To see the stack, start at the top frame and follow
+the chain of ``f_back`` until you reach the bottom frame.  From the
+point of view of one of these frames, it has a ``f_back`` pointing to
+another frame (unless it is the bottom frame), and it is itself being
+pointed to by another frame (unless it is the top frame).
 
-If you are running py.py on top of CPython, then you need to enable
-the _stackless module by running it as follows::
+The theory behind continulets is to literally take the previous sentence
+as definition of "an O.K. situation".  The trick is that there are
+O.K. situations that are more complex than just one stack: you will
+always have one stack, but you can also have in addition one or more
+detached *cycles* of frames, such that by following the ``f_back`` chain
+you run in a circle.  But note that these cycles are indeed completely
+detached: the top frame (the currently running one) is always the one
+which is not the ``f_back`` of anybody else, and it is always the top of
+a stack that ends with the bottom frame, never a part of these extra
+cycles.
 
-    py.py --withmod-_stackless
+How do you create such cycles?  The fundamental operation to do so is to
+take two frames and *permute* their ``f_back`` --- i.e. exchange them.
+You can permute any two ``f_back`` without breaking the rule of "an O.K.
+situation".  Say for example that ``f`` is some frame halfway down the
+stack, and you permute its ``f_back`` with the ``f_back`` of the top
+frame.  Then you have removed from the normal stack all intermediate
+frames, and turned them into one stand-alone cycle.  By doing the same
+permutation again you restore the original situation.
 
-This is implemented internally using greenlets, so it only works on a
-platform where `greenlets`_ are supported.  A few features do
-not work this way, though, and really require a translated
-``pypy-c``.
+In practice, in PyPy, you cannot change the ``f_back`` of an abitrary
+frame, but only of frames stored in ``continulets``.
 
-To obtain a translated version of ``pypy-c`` that includes Stackless
-support, run translate.py as follows::
-
-    cd pypy/translator/goal
-    python translate.py --stackless
+Continulets are internally implemented using stacklets_.  Stacklets are a
+bit more primitive (they are really one-shot continuations), but that
+idea only works in C, not in Python.  The basic idea of continulets is
+to have at any point in time a complete valid stack; this is important
+e.g. to correctly propagate exceptions (and it seems to give meaningful
+tracebacks too).
 
 
 Application level interface
 =============================
 
-A stackless PyPy contains a module called ``stackless``.  The interface
-exposed by this module have not been refined much, so it should be
-considered in-flux (as of 2007).
 
-So far, PyPy does not provide support for ``stackless`` in a threaded
-environment.  This limitation is not fundamental, as previous experience
-has shown, so supporting this would probably be reasonably easy.
+.. _continulet:
 
-An interesting point is that the same ``stackless`` module can provide
-a number of different concurrency paradigms at the same time.  From a
-theoretical point of view, none of above-mentioned existing three
-paradigms considered on its own is new: two of them are from previous
-Python work, and the third one is a variant of the classical coroutine.
-The new part is that the PyPy implementation manages to provide all of
-them and let the user implement more.  Moreover - and this might be an
-important theoretical contribution of this work - we manage to provide
-these concurrency concepts in a "composable" way.  In other words, it
-is possible to naturally mix in a single application multiple
-concurrency paradigms, and multiple unrelated usages of the same
-paradigm.  This is discussed in the Composability_ section below.
+Continulets
++++++++++++
 
+A translated PyPy contains by default a module called ``_continuation``
+exporting the type ``continulet``.  A ``continulet`` object from this
+module is a container that stores a "one-shot continuation".  It plays
+the role of an extra frame you can insert in the stack, and whose
+``f_back`` can be changed.
 
-Infinite recursion
-++++++++++++++++++
+To make a continulet object, call ``continulet()`` with a callable and
+optional extra arguments.
 
-Any stackless PyPy executable natively supports recursion that is only
-limited by the available memory.  As in normal Python, though, there is
-an initial recursion limit (which is 5000 in all pypy-c's, and 1000 in
-CPython).  It can be changed with ``sys.setrecursionlimit()``.  With a
-stackless PyPy, any value is acceptable - use ``sys.maxint`` for
-unlimited.
+Later, the first time you ``switch()`` to the continulet, the callable
+is invoked with the same continulet object as the extra first argument.
+At that point, the one-shot continuation stored in the continulet points
+to the caller of ``switch()``.  In other words you have a perfectly
+normal-looking stack of frames.  But when ``switch()`` is called again,
+this stored one-shot continuation is exchanged with the current one; it
+means that the caller of ``switch()`` is suspended with its continuation
+stored in the container, and the old continuation from the continulet
+object is resumed.
 
-In some cases, you can write Python code that causes interpreter-level
-infinite recursion -- i.e. infinite recursion without going via
-application-level function calls.  It is possible to limit that too,
-with ``_stackless.set_stack_depth_limit()``, or to unlimit it completely
-by setting it to ``sys.maxint``.
+The most primitive API is actually 'permute()', which just permutes the
+one-shot continuation stored in two (or more) continulets.
 
+In more details:
 
-Coroutines
-++++++++++
+* ``continulet(callable, *args, **kwds)``: make a new continulet.
+  Like a generator, this only creates it; the ``callable`` is only
+  actually called the first time it is switched to.  It will be
+  called as follows::
 
-A Coroutine is similar to a very small thread, with no preemptive scheduling.
-Within a family of coroutines, the flow of execution is explicitly
-transferred from one to another by the programmer.  When execution is
-transferred to a coroutine, it begins to execute some Python code.  When
-it transfers execution away from itself it is temporarily suspended, and
-when execution returns to it it resumes its execution from the
-point where it was suspended.  Conceptually, only one coroutine is
-actively running at any given time (but see Composability_ below).
+      callable(cont, *args, **kwds)
 
-The ``stackless.coroutine`` class is instantiated with no argument.
-It provides the following methods and attributes:
+  where ``cont`` is the same continulet object.
 
-* ``stackless.coroutine.getcurrent()``
+  Note that it is actually ``cont.__init__()`` that binds
+  the continulet.  It is also possible to create a not-bound-yet
+  continulet by calling explicitly ``continulet.__new__()``, and
+  only bind it later by calling explicitly ``cont.__init__()``.
 
-    Static method returning the currently running coroutine.  There is a
-    so-called "main" coroutine object that represents the "outer"
-    execution context, where your main program started and where it runs
-    as long as it does not switch to another coroutine.
+* ``cont.switch(value=None, to=None)``: start the continulet if
+  it was not started yet.  Otherwise, store the current continuation
+  in ``cont``, and activate the target continuation, which is the
+  one that was previously stored in ``cont``.  Note that the target
+  continuation was itself previously suspended by another call to
+  ``switch()``; this older ``switch()`` will now appear to return.
+  The ``value`` argument is any object that is carried to the target
+  and returned by the target's ``switch()``.
 
-* ``coro.bind(callable, *args, **kwds)``
+  If ``to`` is given, it must be another continulet object.  In
+  that case, performs a "double switch": it switches as described
+  above to ``cont``, and then immediately switches again to ``to``.
+  This is different from switching directly to ``to``: the current
+  continuation gets stored in ``cont``, the old continuation from
+  ``cont`` gets stored in ``to``, and only then we resume the
+  execution from the old continuation out of ``to``.
 
-    Bind the coroutine so that it will execute ``callable(*args,
-    **kwds)``.  The call is not performed immediately, but only the
-    first time we call the ``coro.switch()`` method.  A coroutine must
-    be bound before it is switched to.  When the coroutine finishes
-    (because the call to the callable returns), the coroutine exits and
-    implicitly switches back to another coroutine (its "parent"); after
-    this point, it is possible to bind it again and switch to it again.
-    (Which coroutine is the parent of which is not documented, as it is
-    likely to change when the interface is refined.)
+* ``cont.throw(type, value=None, tb=None, to=None)``: similar to
+  ``switch()``, except that immediately after the switch is done, raise
+  the given exception in the target.
 
-* ``coro.switch()``
+* ``cont.is_pending()``: return True if the continulet is pending.
+  This is False when it is not initialized (because we called
+  ``__new__`` and not ``__init__``) or when it is finished (because
+  the ``callable()`` returned).  When it is False, the continulet
+  object is empty and cannot be ``switch()``-ed to.
 
-    Suspend the current (caller) coroutine, and resume execution in the
-    target coroutine ``coro``.
+* ``permute(*continulets)``: a global function that permutes the
+  continuations stored in the given continulets arguments.  Mostly
+  theoretical.  In practice, using ``cont.switch()`` is easier and
+  more efficient than using ``permute()``; the latter does not on
+  its own change the currently running frame.
 
-* ``coro.kill()``
 
-    Kill ``coro`` by sending a CoroutineExit exception and switching
-    execution immediately to it. This exception can be caught in the 
-    coroutine itself and can be raised from any call to ``coro.switch()``. 
-    This exception isn't propagated to the parent coroutine.
+Genlets
++++++++
 
-* ``coro.throw(type, value)``
+The ``_continuation`` module also exposes the ``generator`` decorator::
 
-    Insert an exception in ``coro`` an resume switches execution
-    immediately to it. In the coroutine itself, this exception
-    will come from any call to ``coro.switch()`` and can be caught. If the
-    exception isn't caught, it will be propagated to the parent coroutine.
+    @generator
+    def f(cont, a, b):
+        cont.switch(a + b)
+        cont.switch(a + b + 1)
 
-When a coroutine is garbage-collected, it gets the ``.kill()`` method sent to
-it. This happens at the point the next ``.switch`` method is called, so the
-target coroutine of this call will be executed only after the ``.kill`` has
-finished.
+    for i in f(10, 20):
+        print i
 
-Example
-~~~~~~~
+This example prints 30 and 31.  The only advantage over using regular
+generators is that the generator itself is not limited to ``yield``
+statements that must all occur syntactically in the same function.
+Instead, we can pass around ``cont``, e.g. to nested sub-functions, and
+call ``cont.switch(x)`` from there.
 
-Here is a classical producer/consumer example: an algorithm computes a
-sequence of values, while another consumes them.  For our purposes we
-assume that the producer can generate several values at once, and the
-consumer can process up to 3 values in a batch - it can also process
-batches with fewer than 3 values without waiting for the producer (which
-would be messy to express with a classical Python generator). ::
+The ``generator`` decorator can also be applied to methods::
 
-    def producer(lst):
-        while True:
-            ...compute some more values...
-            lst.extend(new_values)
-            coro_consumer.switch()
-
-    def consumer(lst):
-        while True:
-            # First ask the producer for more values if needed
-            while len(lst) == 0:
-                coro_producer.switch()
-            # Process the available values in a batch, but at most 3
-            batch = lst[:3]
-            del lst[:3]
-            ...process batch...
-
-    # Initialize two coroutines with a shared list as argument
-    exchangelst = []
-    coro_producer = coroutine()
-    coro_producer.bind(producer, exchangelst)
-    coro_consumer = coroutine()
-    coro_consumer.bind(consumer, exchangelst)
-
-    # Start running the consumer coroutine
-    coro_consumer.switch()
-

-Tasklets and channels
-+++++++++++++++++++++
-
-The ``stackless`` module also provides an interface that is roughly
-compatible with the interface of the ``stackless`` module in `Stackless
-Python`_: it contains ``stackless.tasklet`` and ``stackless.channel``
-classes.  Tasklets are also similar to microthreads, but (like coroutines)
-they don't actually run in parallel with other microthreads; instead,
-they synchronize and exchange data with each other over Channels, and
-these exchanges determine which Tasklet runs next.
-
-For usage reference, see the documentation on the `Stackless Python`_
-website.
-
-Note that Tasklets and Channels are implemented at application-level in
-`lib_pypy/stackless.py`_ on top of coroutines_.  You can refer to this
-module for more details and API documentation.
-
-The stackless.py code tries to resemble the stackless C code as much
-as possible. This makes the code somewhat unpythonic.
-
-Bird's eye view of tasklets and channels
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Tasklets are a bit like threads: they encapsulate a function in such a way that
-they can be suspended/restarted any time. Unlike threads, they won't
-run concurrently, but must be cooperative. When using stackless
-features, it is vitally important that no action is performed that blocks
-everything else.  In particular, blocking input/output should be centralized
-to a single tasklet.
-
-Communication between tasklets is done via channels. 
-There are three ways for a tasklet to give up control:
-
-1. call ``stackless.schedule()``
-2. send something over a channel
-3. receive something from a channel
-
-A (live) tasklet can either be running, waiting to get scheduled, or be
-blocked by a channel.
-
-Scheduling is done in strictly round-robin manner. A blocked tasklet
-is removed from the scheduling queue and will be reinserted when it
-becomes unblocked.
-
-Example
-~~~~~~~
-
-Here is a many-producers many-consumers example, where any consumer can
-process the result of any producer.  For this situation we set up a
-single channel where all producer send, and on which all consumers
-wait::
-
-    def producer(chan):
-        while True:
-            chan.send(...next value...)
-
-    def consumer(chan):
-        while True:
-            x = chan.receive()
-            ...do something with x...
-
-    # Set up the N producer and M consumer tasklets
-    common_channel = stackless.channel()
-    for i in range(N):
-        stackless.tasklet(producer, common_channel)()
-    for i in range(M):
-        stackless.tasklet(consumer, common_channel)()
-
-    # Run it all
-    stackless.run()
-
-Each item sent over the channel is received by one of the waiting
-consumers; which one is not specified.  The producers block until their
-item is consumed: the channel is not a queue, but rather a meeting point
-which causes tasklets to block until both a consumer and a producer are
-ready.  In practice, the reason for having several consumers receiving
-on a single channel is that some of the consumers can be busy in other
-ways part of the time.  For example, each consumer might receive a
-database request, process it, and send the result to a further channel
-before it asks for the next request.  In this situation, further
-requests can still be received by other consumers.
+    class X:
+        @generator
+        def f(self, cont, a, b):
+            ...
 
 
 Greenlets
 +++++++++
 
-A Greenlet is a kind of primitive Tasklet with a lower-level interface
-and with exact control over the execution order.  Greenlets are similar
-to Coroutines, with a slightly different interface: greenlets put more
-emphasis on a tree structure.  The various greenlets of a program form a
-precise tree, which fully determines their order of execution.
+Greenlets are implemented on top of continulets in `lib_pypy/greenlet.py`_.
+See the official `documentation of the greenlets`_.
 
-For usage reference, see the `documentation of the greenlets`_.
-The PyPy interface is identical.  You should use ``greenlet.greenlet``
-instead of ``stackless.greenlet`` directly, because the greenlet library
-can give you the latter when you ask for the former on top of PyPy.
+Note that unlike the CPython greenlets, this version does not suffer
+from GC issues: if the program "forgets" an unfinished greenlet, it will
+always be collected at the next garbage collection.
 
-PyPy's greenlets do not suffer from the cyclic GC limitation that the
-CPython greenlets have: greenlets referencing each other via local
-variables tend to leak on top of CPython (where it is mostly impossible
-to do the right thing).  It works correctly on top of PyPy.
 
+Unimplemented features
+++++++++++++++++++++++
 
-Coroutine Pickling
-++++++++++++++++++
+The following features (present in some past Stackless version of PyPy)
+are for the time being not supported any more:
 
-Coroutines and tasklets can be pickled and unpickled, i.e. serialized to
-a string of bytes for the purpose of storage or transmission.  This
-allows "live" coroutines or tasklets to be made persistent, moved to
-other machines, or cloned in any way.  The standard ``pickle`` module
-works with coroutines and tasklets (at least in a translated ``pypy-c``;
-unpickling live coroutines or tasklets cannot be easily implemented on
-top of CPython).
+* Tasklets and channels (currently ``stackless.py`` seems to import,
+  but you have tasklets on top of coroutines on top of greenlets on
+  top of continulets on top of stacklets, and it's probably not too
+  hard to cut two of these levels by adapting ``stackless.py`` to
+  use directly continulets)
 
-To be able to achieve this result, we have to consider many objects that
-are not normally pickleable in CPython.  Here again, the `Stackless
-Python`_ implementation has paved the way, and we follow the same
-general design decisions: simple internal objects like bound method
-objects and various kinds of iterators are supported; frame objects can
-be fully pickled and unpickled
-(by serializing a reference to the bytecode they are
-running in addition to all the local variables).  References to globals
-and modules are pickled by name, similarly to references to functions
-and classes in the traditional CPython ``pickle``.
+* Coroutines (could be rewritten at app-level)
 
-The "magic" part of this process is the implementation of the unpickling
-of a chain of frames.  The Python interpreter of PyPy uses
-interpreter-level recursion to represent application-level calls.  The
-reason for this is that it tremendously simplifies the implementation of
-the interpreter itself.  Indeed, in Python, almost any operation can
-potentially result in a non-tail-recursive call to another Python
-function.  This makes writing a non-recursive interpreter extremely
-tedious; instead, we rely on lower-level transformations during the
-translation process to control this recursion.  This is the `Stackless
-Transform`_, which is at the heart of PyPy's support for stackless-style
-concurrency.
+* Pickling and unpickling continulets (*)
 
-At any point in time, a chain of Python-level frames corresponds to a
-chain of interpreter-level frames (e.g. C frames in pypy-c), where each
-single Python-level frame corresponds to one or a few interpreter-level
-frames - depending on the length of the interpreter-level call chain
-from one bytecode evaluation loop to the next (recursively invoked) one.
+* Continuing execution of a continulet in a different thread (*)
 
-This means that it is not sufficient to simply create a chain of Python
-frame objects in the heap of a process before we can resume execution of
-these newly built frames.  We must recreate a corresponding chain of
-interpreter-level frames.  To this end, we have inserted a few *named
-resume points* (see 3.2.4, in `D07.1 Massive Parallelism and Translation Aspects`_) in the Python interpreter of PyPy.  This is the
-motivation for implementing the interpreter-level primitives
-``resume_state_create()`` and ``resume_state_invoke()``, the powerful
-interface that allows an RPython program to artificially rebuild a chain
-of calls in a reflective way, completely from scratch, and jump to it.
+* Automatic unlimited stack (must be emulated__ so far)
 
-.. _`D07.1 Massive Parallelism and Translation Aspects`: http://codespeak.net/pypy/extradoc/eu-report/D07.1_Massive_Parallelism_and_Translation_Aspects-2007-02-28.pdf
+* Support for other CPUs than x86 and x86-64
 
-Example
-~~~~~~~
+.. __: `recursion depth limit`_
 
-(See `demo/pickle_coroutine.py`_ for the complete source of this demo.)
+(*) Pickling, as well as changing threads, could be implemented by using
+a "soft" stack switching mode again.  We would get either "hard" or
+"soft" switches, similarly to Stackless Python 3rd version: you get a
+"hard" switch (like now) when the C stack contains non-trivial C frames
+to save, and a "soft" switch (like previously) when it contains only
+simple calls from Python to Python.  Soft-switched continulets would
+also consume a bit less RAM, and the switch might be a bit faster too
+(unsure about that; what is the Stackless Python experience?).
 
-Consider a program which contains a part performing a long-running
-computation::
 
-    def ackermann(x, y):
-        if x == 0:
-            return y + 1
-        if y == 0:
-            return ackermann(x - 1, 1)
-        return ackermann(x - 1, ackermann(x, y - 1))
+Recursion depth limit
++++++++++++++++++++++
 
-By using pickling, we can save the state of the computation while it is
-running, for the purpose of restoring it later and continuing the
-computation at another time or on a different machine.  However,
-pickling does not produce a whole-program dump: it can only pickle
-individual coroutines.  This means that the computation should be
-started in its own coroutine::
+You can use continulets to emulate the infinite recursion depth present
+in Stackless Python and in stackless-enabled older versions of PyPy.
 
-    # Make a coroutine that will run 'ackermann(3, 8)'
-    coro = coroutine()
-    coro.bind(ackermann, 3, 8)
+The trick is to start a continulet "early", i.e. when the recursion
+depth is very low, and switch to it "later", i.e. when the recursion
+depth is high.  Example::
 
-    # Now start running the coroutine
-    result = coro.switch()
+    from _continuation import continulet
 
-The coroutine itself must switch back to the main program when it needs
-to be interrupted (we can only pickle suspended coroutines).  Due to
-current limitations this requires an explicit check in the
-``ackermann()`` function::
+    def invoke(_, callable, arg):
+        return callable(arg)
 
-    def ackermann(x, y):
-        if interrupt_flag:      # test a global flag
-            main.switch()       # and switch back to 'main' if it is set
-        if x == 0:
-            return y + 1
-        if y == 0:
-            return ackermann(x - 1, 1)
-        return ackermann(x - 1, ackermann(x, y - 1))
+    def bootstrap(c):
+        # this loop runs forever, at a very low recursion depth
+        callable, arg = c.switch()
+        while True:
+            # start a new continulet from here, and switch to
+            # it using an "exchange", i.e. a switch with to=.
+            to = continulet(invoke, callable, arg)
+            callable, arg = c.switch(to=to)
 
-The global ``interrupt_flag`` would be set for example by a timeout, or
-by a signal handler reacting to Ctrl-C, etc.  It causes the coroutine to
-transfer control back to the main program.  The execution comes back
-just after the line ``coro.switch()``, where we can pickle the coroutine
-if necessary::
+    c = continulet(bootstrap)
+    c.switch()
 
-    if not coro.is_alive:
-        print "finished; the result is:", result
-    else:
-        # save the state of the suspended coroutine
-        f = open('demo.pickle', 'w')
-        pickle.dump(coro, f)
-        f.close()
 
-The process can then stop.  At any later time, or on another machine,
-we can reload the file and restart the coroutine with::
+    def recursive(n):
+        if n == 0:
+            return ("ok", n)
+        if n % 200 == 0:
+            prev = c.switch((recursive, n - 1))
+        else:
+            prev = recursive(n - 1)
+        return (prev[0], prev[1] + 1)
 
-    f = open('demo.pickle', 'r')
-    coro = pickle.load(f)
-    f.close()
-    result = coro.switch()
+    print recursive(999999)     # prints ('ok', 999999)
 
-Limitations
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+Note that if you press Ctrl-C while running this example, the traceback
+will be built with *all* recursive() calls so far, even if this is more
+than the number that can possibly fit in the C stack.  These frames are
+"overlapping" each other in the sense of the C stack; more precisely,
+they are copied out of and into the C stack as needed.
 
-Coroutine pickling is subject to some limitations.  First of all, it is
-not a whole-program "memory dump".  It means that only the "local" state
-of a coroutine is saved.  The local state is defined to include the
-chain of calls and the local variables, but not for example the value of
-any global variable.
+(The example above also makes use of the following general "guideline"
+to help newcomers write continulets: in ``bootstrap(c)``, only call
+methods on ``c``, not on another continulet object.  That's why we wrote
+``c.switch(to=to)`` and not ``to.switch()``, which would mess up the
+state.  This is however just a guideline; in general we would recommend
+to use other interfaces like genlets and greenlets.)
 
-As in normal Python, the pickle will not include any function object's
-code, any class definition, etc., but only references to functions and
-classes.  Unlike normal Python, the pickle contains frames.  A pickled
-frame stores a bytecode index, representing the current execution
-position.  This means that the user program cannot be modified *at all*
-between pickling and unpickling!
 
-On the other hand, the pickled data is fairly independent from the
-platform and from the PyPy version.
+Stacklets
++++++++++
 
-Pickling/unpickling fails if the coroutine is suspended in a state that
-involves Python frames which were *indirectly* called.  To define this
-more precisely, a Python function can issue a regular function or method
-call to invoke another Python function - this is a *direct* call and can
-be pickled and unpickled.  But there are many ways to invoke a Python
-function indirectly.  For example, most operators can invoke a special
-method ``__xyz__()`` on a class, various built-in functions can call
-back Python functions, signals can invoke signal handlers, and so on.
-These cases are not supported yet.
+Continulets are internally implemented using stacklets, which is the
+generic RPython-level building block for "one-shot continuations".  For
+more information about them please see the documentation in the C source
+at `pypy/translator/c/src/stacklet/stacklet.h`_.
 
+The module ``pypy.rlib.rstacklet`` is a thin wrapper around the above
+functions.  The key point is that new() and switch() always return a
+fresh stacklet handle (or an empty one), and switch() additionally
+consumes one.  It makes no sense to have code in which the returned
+handle is ignored, or used more than once.  Note that ``stacklet.c`` is
+written assuming that the user knows that, and so no additional checking
+occurs; this can easily lead to obscure crashes if you don't use a
+wrapper like PyPy's '_continuation' module.
 
-Composability
-+++++++++++++
+
+Theory of composability
++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 Although the concept of coroutines is far from new, they have not been
 generally integrated into mainstream languages, or only in limited form
 (like generators in Python and iterators in C#).  We can argue that a
 possible reason for that is that they do not scale well when a program's
 complexity increases: they look attractive in small examples, but the
-models that require explicit switching, by naming the target coroutine,
-do not compose naturally.  This means that a program that uses
-coroutines for two unrelated purposes may run into conflicts caused by
-unexpected interactions.

 To illustrate the problem, consider the following example (simplified
-code; see the full source in

-simple usage of coroutine::
+code using a theorical ``coroutine`` class).  First, a simple usage of

 main coroutine, which confuses the ``generator_iterator.next()`` method
 (it gets resumed, but not as a result of a call to ``Yield()``).
 
-As part of trying to combine multiple different paradigms into a single
-application-level module, we have built a way to solve this problem.
-The idea is to avoid the notion of a single, global "main" coroutine (or
-a single main greenlet, or a single main tasklet).  Instead, each
-conceptually separated user of one of these concurrency interfaces can
-create its own "view" on what the main coroutine/greenlet/tasklet is,
-which other coroutine/greenlet/tasklets there are, and which of these is
-the currently running one.  Each "view" is orthogonal to the others.  In
-particular, each view has one (and exactly one) "current"
-coroutine/greenlet/tasklet at any point in time.  When the user switches
-to a coroutine/greenlet/tasklet, it implicitly means that he wants to
-switch away from the current coroutine/greenlet/tasklet *that belongs to
-the same view as the target*.
+Thus the notion of coroutine is *not composable*.  By opposition, the
+primitive notion of continulets is composable: if you build two
+different interfaces on top of it, or have a program that uses twice the
+same interface in two parts, then assuming that both parts independently
+work, the composition of the two parts still works.
 
-The precise application-level interface has not been fixed yet; so far,
-"views" in the above sense are objects of the type
-``stackless.usercostate``.  The above two examples can be rewritten in
-the following way::
+A full proof of that claim would require careful definitions, but let us
+just claim that this fact is true because of the following observation:
+the API of continulets is such that, when doing a ``switch()``, it
+requires the program to have some continulet to explicitly operate on.
+It shuffles the current continuation with the continuation stored in
+that continulet, but has no effect outside.  So if a part of a program
+has a continulet object, and does not expose it as a global, then the
+rest of the program cannot accidentally influence the continuation
+stored in that continulet object.
 
-    producer_view = stackless.usercostate()   # a local view
-    main_coro = producer_view.getcurrent()    # the main (outer) coroutine
-    ...
-    producer_coro = producer_view.newcoroutine()
-    ...
-
-and::
-
-    generators_view = stackless.usercostate()
-
-    def generator(f):
-        def wrappedfunc(*args, **kwds):

-            ...
-
-            ...generators_view.getcurrent()...
-
-Then the composition ``grab_values()`` works as expected, because the
-two views are independent.  The coroutine captured as ``self.caller`` in
-the ``generator_iterator.next()`` method is the main coroutine of the
-``generators_view``.  It is no longer the same object as the main
-coroutine of the ``producer_view``, so when ``data_producer()`` issues
-the following command::
-
-    main_coro.switch()
-
-the control flow cannot accidentally jump back to
-``generator_iterator.next()``.  In other words, from the point of view
-of ``producer_view``, the function ``grab_next_value()`` always runs in
-its main coroutine ``main_coro`` and the function ``data_producer`` in
-its coroutine ``producer_coro``.  This is the case independently of
-which ``generators_view``-based coroutine is the current one when
-``grab_next_value()`` is called.
-
-Only code that has explicit access to the ``producer_view`` or its
-coroutine objects can perform switches that are relevant for the
-generator code.  If the view object and the coroutine objects that share
-this view are all properly encapsulated inside the generator logic, no
-external code can accidentally temper with the expected control flow any
-longer.
-
-In conclusion: we will probably change the app-level interface of PyPy's
-stackless module in the future to not expose coroutines and greenlets at
-all, but only views.  They are not much more difficult to use, and they

+In other words, if we regard the continulet object as being essentially
+a modifiable ``f_back``, then it is just a link between the frame of
+``callable()`` and the parent frame --- and it cannot be arbitrarily
+changed by unrelated code, as long as they don't explicitly manipulate
+the continulet object.  Typically, both the frame of ``callable()``
+(commonly a local function) and its parent frame (which is the frame
+that switched to it) belong to the same class or module; so from that
+point of view the continulet is a purely local link between two local
+frames.  It doesn't make sense to have a concept that allows this link
+to be manipulated from outside.

+Preping Windows for the Large Build
+-----------------------------------
+
+Normally 32bit programs are limited to 2GB of memory on Windows. It is
+possible to raise this limit, to 3GB on Windows 32bit, and almost 4GB
+on Windows 64bit.
+
+On Windows 32bit, it is necessary to modify the system: follow
+http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=9583842&linkID=9240617
+to enable the "3GB" feature, and reboot. This step is not necessary on
+Windows 64bit.
+
+Then you need to execute::
+
+    editbin /largeaddressaware pypy.exe
+
+on the pypy.exe file you compiled.

 based on the hypothesis that
Message-ID: <20111104093610.C78BF820B3@wyvern.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de>

Changeset: r48726:c98931f5191b
Date: 2011-11-04 10:35 +0100
http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changeset/c98931f5191b/

Log:	Rewrite the algorithm of readlines() based on the hypothesis that it
	is equivalent to read() followed by splitting after each '\n'. I
	*think* it is true, because read() should do itself the conversion
	from '\r' or '\r\n' when the file is in text or universal mode.

Log:	Attempt to fix generally the issue of VStringPlainValue that can be
	forced before being fully built --- e.g. because it's a target of a
	copystrcontent. I think this fix is all that it needed, but in case
	I missed a place, then it will end up with an AssertionError or a
	segfault (self._chars is None) at run-time, instead of producing
	bogus results.

Log:	Add asserts and fix a test. The main point of the asserts is to
	catch obscure cases where we generate a residual operation
	STRSETITEM(ConstPtr(..), ..), which never makes sense. This breaks
	on running "pypy translate.py". Will try to figure out why.

Log:	Change VStringPlainValue, refactoring and giving a long explanation
	of the meaning of '_chars' and when it contains None values. It
	simplifies some code I did earlier today, and hopefully it makes
	vstring.py safe now. At worst it should now crash
	in an assert that tries to do one of now-forbidden operations.

Subject: [pypy-commit] pypy default: Another case: strgetitem on a
 VStringConcatValue can be resolved
Message-ID: <20111104195709.1EF08820B3@wyvern.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de>

Changeset: r48761:98bf21b80fc5
Date: 2011-11-04 20:56 +0100
http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changeset/98bf21b80fc5/

Log:	Another case: strgetitem on a VStringConcatValue can be resolved if
	we know statically on which half of the two-parts string it is done.

	Could be improved in theory by using intbounds analysis...

Subject: [pypy-commit] pypy jit-targets: Rename ProcedureToken to
 JitCellToken. It now refers to all compiled traces starting from a specific
 JitCell and it is used as a decsr of jumps produced by the frontend to
 indicate the target of the jump. The optimizer will the convert this to a
 jump to a TargetToken (which refers to a specific label in an already
 compiled trace). If that is not yet possible it will be converted into a
 label resop with a new TargetTocken

Log:	got one of four things in test_typed.py to run. It is rffi related,
	the others probably as well. I want to add more structure to PyPy.
	Things like rffi should not be compatible with the target system at
	all. I would like to introduce explicit conversions, for every type.
	That would need some effort, but make an 'up-lifting' to a more OS
	independent build system much easier.

	Will elaborate on this, tomorrow.

Log:	(antocuni, hakan, arigo)

	Kill 'exception_might_have_happened' and the 'bridge' boolean field
	of Optimizer. Simplify some of the 'posponedop' mess, by explicitly
	removing 'guard_no_exception' only if they immediately follow a
	removed 'call'. This is detected with a new field
	'last_emitted_operation', recording the last operation seen by a
	'emit_operation'. Use this too to clean up intbounds overflow
	checking.

+"""Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue).
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+Usage:
+
+heap = []            # creates an empty heap
+heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
+item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap
+item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it
+heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time
+item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds
+                               # new item; the heap size is unchanged
+
+Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
+
+- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
+  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
+  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
+
+- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
+
+These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
+without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
+maintains the heap invariant!

+[explanation by Fran&#65533;ois Pinard]
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

Log:	all errors are gone from test_typed.py. This was a major hassle
	during the last two days. I was hunting an error which was caused by
	the rfficache. On windows, it is hard to see any difference between
	compiler configurations. All environment settings are identical. At
	the moment, sys.maxind is the only thing that distinguishes the
	platforms.

-

-        non-trivial value.
-
-        The new class instance is based on fileobj, which can be a regular
-        file, a StringIO object, or any other object which simulates a file.
-        It defaults to None, in which case filename is opened to provide
-        a file object.
-
-        When fileobj is not None, the filename argument is only used to be
-        included in the gzip file header, which may includes the original
-        filename of the uncompressed file.  It defaults to the filename of
-        fileobj, if discernible; otherwise, it defaults to the empty string,
-        and in this case the original filename is not included in the header.
-
-        The mode argument can be any of 'r', 'rb', 'a', 'ab', 'w', or 'wb',
-        depending on whether the file will be read or written.  The default
-        is the mode of fileobj if discernible; otherwise, the default is 'rb'.
-        Be aware that only the 'rb', 'ab', and 'wb' values should be used
-        for cross-platform portability.
-
-        The compresslevel argument is an integer from 1 to 9 controlling the
-        level of compression; 1 is fastest and produces the least compression,
-        and 9 is slowest and produces the most compression.  The default is 9.
-
-        The mtime argument is an optional numeric timestamp to be written
-        to the stream when compressing.  All gzip compressed streams
-        are required to contain a timestamp.  If omitted or None, the
-        current time is used.  This module ignores the timestamp when
-        decompressing; however, some programs, such as gunzip, make use
-        of it.  The format of the timestamp is the same as that of the
-        return value of time.time() and of the st_mtime member of the

+"""Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue).
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+Usage:
+
+heap = []            # creates an empty heap
+heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
+item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap
+item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it
+heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time

+                               # new item; the heap size is unchanged
+
+Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
+
+- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
+  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
+  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
+
+- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
+
+These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
+without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
+maintains the heap invariant!

+[explanation by Fran&#65533;ois Pinard]
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

+"""HTTP/1.1 client library
+
+<intro stuff goes here>
+<other stuff, too>
+
+HTTPConnection goes through a number of "states", which define when a client
+may legally make another request or fetch the response for a particular
+request. This diagram details these state transitions:
+
+    (null)
+      |
+      | HTTPConnection()
+      v
+    Idle
+      |
+      | putrequest()
+      v
+    Request-started
+      |
+      | ( putheader() )*  endheaders()
+      v
+    Request-sent
+      |
+      | response = getresponse()
+      v
+    Unread-response   [Response-headers-read]
+      |\____________________
+      |                     |
+      | response.read()     | putrequest()
+      v                     v
+    Idle                  Req-started-unread-response
+                     ______/|
+                   /        |
+   response.read() |        | ( putheader() )*  endheaders()
+                   v        v
+       Request-started    Req-sent-unread-response
+                            |
+                            | response.read()
+                            v
+                          Request-sent
+
+This diagram presents the following rules:
+  -- a second request may not be started until {response-headers-read}
+  -- a response [object] cannot be retrieved until {request-sent}
+  -- there is no differentiation between an unread response body and a
+     partially read response body
+
+Note: this enforcement is applied by the HTTPConnection class. The
+      HTTPResponse class does not enforce this state machine, which
+      implies sophisticated clients may accelerate the request/response
+      pipeline. Caution should be taken, though: accelerating the states
+      beyond the above pattern may imply knowledge of the server's
+      connection-close behavior for certain requests. For example, it
+      is impossible to tell whether the server will close the connection
+      UNTIL the response headers have been read; this means that further
+      requests cannot be placed into the pipeline until it is known that
+      the server will NOT be closing the connection.
+

+"""An extensible library for opening URLs using a variety of protocols
+
+The simplest way to use this module is to call the urlopen function,
+which accepts a string containing a URL or a Request object (described
+below).  It opens the URL and returns the results as file-like
+object; the returned object has some extra methods described below.
+
+The OpenerDirector manages a collection of Handler objects that do
+all the actual work.  Each Handler implements a particular protocol or
+option.  The OpenerDirector is a composite object that invokes the
+Handlers needed to open the requested URL.  For example, the
+HTTPHandler performs HTTP GET and POST requests and deals with
+non-error returns.  The HTTPRedirectHandler automatically deals with
+HTTP 301, 302, 303 and 307 redirect errors, and the HTTPDigestAuthHandler
+deals with digest authentication.
+
+urlopen(url, data=None) -- Basic usage is the same as original
+urllib.  pass the url and optionally data to post to an HTTP URL, and
+get a file-like object back.  One difference is that you can also pass
+a Request instance instead of URL.  Raises a URLError (subclass of
+IOError); for HTTP errors, raises an HTTPError, which can also be
+treated as a valid response.
+
+build_opener -- Function that creates a new OpenerDirector instance.
+Will install the default handlers.  Accepts one or more Handlers as
+arguments, either instances or Handler classes that it will
+instantiate.  If one of the argument is a subclass of the default
+handler, the argument will be installed instead of the default.
+
+install_opener -- Installs a new opener as the default opener.
+
+objects of interest:
+
+OpenerDirector -- Sets up the User Agent as the Python-urllib client and manages
+the Handler classes, while dealing with requests and responses.
+
+Request -- An object that encapsulates the state of a request.  The
+state can be as simple as the URL.  It can also include extra HTTP
+headers, e.g. a User-Agent.
+
+BaseHandler --
+
+exceptions:
+URLError -- A subclass of IOError, individual protocols have their own
+specific subclass.
+
+HTTPError -- Also a valid HTTP response, so you can treat an HTTP error
+as an exceptional event or valid response.
+
+internals:
+BaseHandler and parent
+_call_chain conventions
+
+Example usage:
+
+import urllib2
+
+# set up authentication info
+authinfo = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
+authinfo.add_password(realm='PDQ Application',
+                      uri='https://mahler:8092/site-updates.py',
+                      user='klem',
+                      passwd='geheim$parole')
+
+proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "http://ahad-haam:3128"})
+
+# build a new opener that adds authentication and caching FTP handlers
+opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, authinfo, urllib2.CacheFTPHandler)
+
+# install it
+urllib2.install_opener(opener)
+
+f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
+
+
+"""
+
+# XXX issues:
+# If an authentication error handler that tries to perform
+# authentication for some reason but fails, how should the error be
+# signalled?  The client needs to know the HTTP error code.  But if
+# the handler knows that the problem was, e.g., that it didn't know
+# that hash algo that requested in the challenge, it would be good to
+# pass that information along to the client, too.
+# ftp errors aren't handled cleanly
+# check digest against correct (i.e. non-apache) implementation
+
+# Possible extensions:
+# complex proxies  XXX not sure what exactly was meant by this
+# abstract factory for opener

-
-    The Taint Object Space
-    ======================
-
-    Motivation
-    ----------
-
-    The Taint Object Space provides a form of security: "tainted objects",
-    inspired by various sources, see [D12.1]_ for a more detailed discussion. 
-
-    The basic idea of this kind of security is not to protect against
-    malicious code but to help with handling and boxing sensitive data. 
-    It covers two kinds of sensitive data: secret data which should not leak, 
-    and untrusted data coming from an external source and that must be 
-    validated before it is used.
-
-    The idea is that, considering a large application that handles these
-    kinds of sensitive data, there are typically only a small number of
-    places that need to explicitly manipulate that sensitive data; all the
-    other places merely pass it around, or do entirely unrelated things.
-
-    Nevertheless, if a large application needs to be reviewed for security,
-    it must be entirely carefully checked, because it is possible that a
-    bug at some apparently unrelated place could lead to a leak of sensitive
-    information in a way that an external attacker could exploit.  For
-    example, if any part of the application provides web services, an
-    attacker might be able to issue unexpected requests with a regular web
-    browser and deduce secret information from the details of the answers he
-    gets.  Another example is the common CGI attack where an attacker sends
-    malformed inputs and causes the CGI script to do unintended things.
-
-    An approach like that of the Taint Object Space allows the small parts
-    of the program that manipulate sensitive data to be explicitly marked.
-    The effect of this is that although these small parts still need a
-    careful security review, the rest of the application no longer does,
-    because even a bug would be unable to leak the information.
-
-    We have implemented a simple two-level model: objects are either
-    regular (untainted), or sensitive (tainted).  Objects are marked as
-    sensitive if they are secret or untrusted, and only declassified at
-    carefully-checked positions (e.g. where the secret data is needed, or
-    after the untrusted data has been fully validated).
-
-    It would be simple to extend the code for more fine-grained scales of
-    secrecy.  For example it is typical in the literature to consider
-    user-specified lattices of secrecy levels, corresponding to multiple
-    "owners" that cannot access data belonging to another "owner" unless
-    explicitly authorized to do so.
-
-    Tainting and untainting
-    -----------------------
-
-    Start a py.py with the Taint Object Space and try the following example::
-
-        $ py.py -o taint
-        >>>> from __pypy__ import taint
-        >>>> x = taint(6)
-
-        # x is hidden from now on.  We can pass it around and
-        # even operate on it, but not inspect it.  Taintness

-
-    Notice that using a tainted boolean like ``x > 5`` in an ``if``
-    statement is forbidden.  This is because knowing which path is followed
-    would give away a hint about ``x``; in the example above, if the
-    statement ``if x > 5: y = 2`` was allowed to run, we would know
-    something about the value of ``x`` by looking at the (untainted) value
-    in the variable ``y``.
-
-    Of course, there is a way to inspect tainted objects.  The basic way is
-    to explicitly "declassify" it with the ``untaint()`` function.  In an
-    application, the places that use ``untaint()`` are the places that need
-    careful security review.  To avoid unexpected objects showing up, the
-    ``untaint()`` function must be called with the exact type of the object
-    to declassify.  It will raise ``TaintError`` if the type doesn't match::
-
-        >>>> from __pypy__ import taint
-        >>>> untaint(int, x)
-        6
-        >>>> untaint(int, z)
-        11
-        >>>> untaint(bool, x > 5)
-        True
-        >>>> untaint(int, x > 5)
-        TaintError
-
-
-    Taint Bombs
-    -----------
-
-    In this area, a common problem is what to do about failing operations.
-    If an operation raises an exception when manipulating a tainted object,
-    then the very presence of the exception can leak information about the
-    tainted object itself.  Consider::
-
-        >>>> 5 / (x-6)
-
-    By checking if this raises ``ZeroDivisionError`` or not, we would know
-    if ``x`` was equal to 6 or not.  The solution to this problem in the
-    Taint Object Space is to introduce *Taint Bombs*.  They are a kind of
-    tainted object that doesn't contain a real object, but a pending
-    exception.  Taint Bombs are indistinguishable from normal tainted
-    objects to unprivileged code. See::
-
-        >>>> x = taint(6)
-        >>>> i = 5 / (x-6)     # no exception here
-        >>>> j = i + 1         # nor here
-        >>>> k = j + 5         # nor here
-        >>>> untaint(int, k)
-        TaintError
-
-    In the above example, all of ``i``, ``j`` and ``k`` contain a Taint
-    Bomb.  Trying to untaint it raises an exception - a generic
-    ``TaintError``.  What we win is that the exception gives little away,
-    and most importantly it occurs at the point where ``untaint()`` is
-    called, not where the operation failed.  This means that all calls to
-    ``untaint()`` - but not the rest of the code - must be carefully
-    reviewed for what occurs if they receive a Taint Bomb; they might catch
-    the ``TaintError`` and give the user a generic message that something
-    went wrong, if we are reasonably careful that the message or even its
-    presence doesn't give information away.  This might be a
-    problem by itself, but there is no satisfying general solution here:
-    it must be considered on a case-by-case basis.  Again, what the
-    Taint Object Space approach achieves is not solving these problems, but
-    localizing them to well-defined small parts of the application - namely,
-    around calls to ``untaint()``.
-
-    The ``TaintError`` exception deliberately does not include any
-    useful error messages, because they might give information away.
-    Of course, this makes debugging quite a bit harder; a difficult
-    problem to solve properly.  So far we have implemented a way to peek in a Taint
-    Box or Bomb, ``__pypy__._taint_look(x)``, and a "debug mode" that
-    prints the exception as soon as a Bomb is created - both write
-    information to the low-level stderr of the application, where we hope
-    that it is unlikely to be seen by anyone but the application
-    developer.
-
-
-    Taint Atomic functions
-    ----------------------
-
-    Occasionally, a more complicated computation must be performed on a
-    tainted object.  This requires first untainting the object, performing the
-    computations, and then carefully tainting the result again (including
-    hiding all exceptions into Bombs).
-
-    There is a built-in decorator that does this for you::
-
-        >>>> @__pypy__.taint_atomic
-        >>>> def myop(x, y):
-        ....     while x > 0:
-        ....         x -= y
-        ....     return x
-        ....
-        >>>> myop(42, 10)
-        -8
-        >>>> z = myop(taint(42), 10)
-        >>>> z
-        TaintError
-        >>>> untaint(int, z)
-        -8
-
-    The decorator makes a whole function behave like a built-in operation.
-    If no tainted argument is passed in, the function behaves normally.  But
-    if any of the arguments is tainted, it is automatically untainted - so
-    the function body always sees untainted arguments - and the eventual
-    result is tainted again (possibly in a Taint Bomb).
-
-    It is important for the function marked as ``taint_atomic`` to have no
-    visible side effects, as these could cause information leakage.
-    This is currently not enforced, which means that all ``taint_atomic``
-    functions have to be carefully reviewed for security (but not the
-    callers of ``taint_atomic`` functions).
-
-    A possible future extension would be to forbid side-effects on
-    non-tainted objects from all ``taint_atomic`` functions.
-
-    An example of usage: given a tainted object ``passwords_db`` that
-    references a database of passwords, we can write a function
-    that checks if a password is valid as follows::
-
-        @taint_atomic
-        def validate(passwords_db, username, password):
-            assert type(passwords_db) is PasswordDatabase
-            assert type(username) is str
-            assert type(password) is str
-            ...load username entry from passwords_db...
-            return expected_password == password
-
-    It returns a tainted boolean answer, or a Taint Bomb if something
-    went wrong.  A caller can do::
-
-        ok = validate(passwords_db, 'john', '1234')
-        ok = untaint(bool, ok)
-
-    This can give three outcomes: ``True``, ``False``, or a ``TaintError``
-    exception (with no information on it) if anything went wrong.  If even
-    this is considered giving too much information away, the ``False`` case
-    can be made indistinguishable from the ``TaintError`` case (simply by
-    raising an exception in ``validate()`` if the password is wrong).
-
-    In the above example, the security results achieved are the following:
-    as long as ``validate()`` does not leak information, no other part of
-    the code can obtain more information about a passwords database than a
-    Yes/No answer to a precise query.
-
-    A possible extension of the ``taint_atomic`` decorator would be to check
-    the argument types, as ``untaint()`` does, for the same reason: to
-    prevent bugs where a function like ``validate()`` above is accidentally
-    called with the wrong kind of tainted object, which would make it
-    misbehave.  For now, all ``taint_atomic`` functions should be
-    conservative and carefully check all assumptions on their input
-    arguments.

-
-    Interface
-    ---------
-
-    .. _`like a built-in operation`:
-
-    The basic rule of the Tainted Object Space is that it introduces two new
-    kinds of objects, Tainted Boxes and Tainted Bombs (which are not types
-    in the Python sense).  Each box internally contains a regular object;
-    each bomb internally contains an exception object.  An operation
-    involving Tainted Boxes is performed on the objects contained in the
-    boxes, and gives a Tainted Box or a Tainted Bomb as a result (such an
-    operation does not let an exception be raised).  An operation called
-    with a Tainted Bomb argument immediately returns the same Tainted Bomb.
-
-    In a PyPy running with (or translated with) the Taint Object Space,
-    the ``__pypy__`` module exposes the following interface:
-
-    * ``taint(obj)``
-
-        Return a new Tainted Box wrapping ``obj``.  Return ``obj`` itself
-        if it is already tainted (a Box or a Bomb).
-
-    * ``is_tainted(obj)``
-
-        Check if ``obj`` is tainted (a Box or a Bomb).
-
-    * ``untaint(type, obj)``
-
-        Untaints ``obj`` if it is tainted.  Raise ``TaintError`` if the type
-        of the untainted object is not exactly ``type``, or if ``obj`` is a
-        Bomb.
-
-    * ``taint_atomic(func)``
-
-        Return a wrapper function around the callable ``func``.  The wrapper
-        behaves `like a built-in operation`_ with respect to untainting the
-        arguments, tainting the result, and returning a Bomb.
-
-    * ``TaintError``
-
-        Exception.  On purpose, it provides no attribute or error message.
-
-    * ``_taint_debug(level)``
-
-        Set the debugging level to ``level`` (0=off).  At level 1 or above,
-        all Taint Bombs print a diagnostic message to stderr when they are
-        created.
-
-    * ``_taint_look(obj)``
-
-        For debugging purposes: prints (to stderr) the type and address of
-        the object in a Tainted Box, or prints the exception if ``obj`` is
-        a Taint Bomb.

-        It defaults to None, in which case filename is opened to provide

-        When fileobj is not None, the filename argument is only used to be
-        included in the gzip file header, which may includes the original
-        filename of the uncompressed file.  It defaults to the filename of

-        Be aware that only the 'rb', 'ab', and 'wb' values should be used
-        for cross-platform portability.
-
-        The compresslevel argument is an integer from 1 to 9 controlling the
-        level of compression; 1 is fastest and produces the least compression,
-        and 9 is slowest and produces the most compression.  The default is 9.
-
-        The mtime argument is an optional numeric timestamp to be written
-        to the stream when compressing.  All gzip compressed streams
-        are required to contain a timestamp.  If omitted or None, the
-        current time is used.  This module ignores the timestamp when
-        decompressing; however, some programs, such as gunzip, make use
-        of it.  The format of the timestamp is the same as that of the

+"""Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue).
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+Usage:
+
+heap = []            # creates an empty heap
+heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
+item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap
+item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it
+heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time
+item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds
+                               # new item; the heap size is unchanged
+
+Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
+
+- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
+  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
+  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
+
+- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
+
+These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
+without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
+maintains the heap invariant!

+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

+
+<intro stuff goes here>
+<other stuff, too>
+
+HTTPConnection goes through a number of "states", which define when a client
+may legally make another request or fetch the response for a particular
+request. This diagram details these state transitions:
+
+    (null)
+      |
+      | HTTPConnection()
+      v
+    Idle
+      |
+      | putrequest()
+      v
+    Request-started
+      |
+      | ( putheader() )*  endheaders()
+      v
+    Request-sent
+      |
+      | response = getresponse()
+      v
+    Unread-response   [Response-headers-read]
+      |\____________________
+      |                     |
+      | response.read()     | putrequest()
+      v                     v
+    Idle                  Req-started-unread-response
+                     ______/|
+                   /        |
+   response.read() |        | ( putheader() )*  endheaders()
+                   v        v
+       Request-started    Req-sent-unread-response
+                            |
+                            | response.read()
+                            v
+                          Request-sent
+
+This diagram presents the following rules:
+  -- a second request may not be started until {response-headers-read}
+  -- a response [object] cannot be retrieved until {request-sent}
+  -- there is no differentiation between an unread response body and a
+     partially read response body
+
+Note: this enforcement is applied by the HTTPConnection class. The
+      HTTPResponse class does not enforce this state machine, which
+      implies sophisticated clients may accelerate the request/response
+      pipeline. Caution should be taken, though: accelerating the states
+      beyond the above pattern may imply knowledge of the server's
+      connection-close behavior for certain requests. For example, it
+      is impossible to tell whether the server will close the connection
+      UNTIL the response headers have been read; this means that further
+      requests cannot be placed into the pipeline until it is known that
+      the server will NOT be closing the connection.

+"""An extensible library for opening URLs using a variety of protocols
+
+The simplest way to use this module is to call the urlopen function,
+which accepts a string containing a URL or a Request object (described
+below).  It opens the URL and returns the results as file-like
+object; the returned object has some extra methods described below.
+
+The OpenerDirector manages a collection of Handler objects that do
+all the actual work.  Each Handler implements a particular protocol or
+option.  The OpenerDirector is a composite object that invokes the
+Handlers needed to open the requested URL.  For example, the
+HTTPHandler performs HTTP GET and POST requests and deals with
+non-error returns.  The HTTPRedirectHandler automatically deals with
+HTTP 301, 302, 303 and 307 redirect errors, and the HTTPDigestAuthHandler
+deals with digest authentication.
+
+urlopen(url, data=None) -- Basic usage is the same as original
+urllib.  pass the url and optionally data to post to an HTTP URL, and
+get a file-like object back.  One difference is that you can also pass
+a Request instance instead of URL.  Raises a URLError (subclass of
+IOError); for HTTP errors, raises an HTTPError, which can also be
+treated as a valid response.
+
+build_opener -- Function that creates a new OpenerDirector instance.
+Will install the default handlers.  Accepts one or more Handlers as
+arguments, either instances or Handler classes that it will
+instantiate.  If one of the argument is a subclass of the default
+handler, the argument will be installed instead of the default.
+
+install_opener -- Installs a new opener as the default opener.
+
+objects of interest:
+
+OpenerDirector -- Sets up the User Agent as the Python-urllib client and manages
+the Handler classes, while dealing with requests and responses.
+
+Request -- An object that encapsulates the state of a request.  The
+state can be as simple as the URL.  It can also include extra HTTP
+headers, e.g. a User-Agent.
+
+BaseHandler --
+
+exceptions:
+URLError -- A subclass of IOError, individual protocols have their own
+specific subclass.
+
+HTTPError -- Also a valid HTTP response, so you can treat an HTTP error
+as an exceptional event or valid response.
+
+internals:
+BaseHandler and parent
+_call_chain conventions
+
+Example usage:
+
+import urllib2
+
+# set up authentication info
+authinfo = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
+authinfo.add_password(realm='PDQ Application',
+                      uri='https://mahler:8092/site-updates.py',
+                      user='klem',
+                      passwd='geheim$parole')
+
+proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "http://ahad-haam:3128"})
+
+# build a new opener that adds authentication and caching FTP handlers
+opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, authinfo, urllib2.CacheFTPHandler)
+
+# install it
+urllib2.install_opener(opener)
+
+f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
+
+
+"""
+
+# XXX issues:
+# If an authentication error handler that tries to perform
+# authentication for some reason but fails, how should the error be
+# signalled?  The client needs to know the HTTP error code.  But if
+# the handler knows that the problem was, e.g., that it didn't know
+# that hash algo that requested in the challenge, it would be good to
+# pass that information along to the client, too.
+# ftp errors aren't handled cleanly
+# check digest against correct (i.e. non-apache) implementation
+
+# Possible extensions:
+# complex proxies  XXX not sure what exactly was meant by this
+# abstract factory for opener

-
-    The Taint Object Space
-    ======================
-
-    Motivation
-    ----------
-
-    The Taint Object Space provides a form of security: "tainted objects",
-    inspired by various sources, see [D12.1]_ for a more detailed discussion. 
-
-    The basic idea of this kind of security is not to protect against
-    malicious code but to help with handling and boxing sensitive data. 
-    It covers two kinds of sensitive data: secret data which should not leak, 
-    and untrusted data coming from an external source and that must be 
-    validated before it is used.
-
-    The idea is that, considering a large application that handles these
-    kinds of sensitive data, there are typically only a small number of
-    places that need to explicitly manipulate that sensitive data; all the
-    other places merely pass it around, or do entirely unrelated things.
-
-    Nevertheless, if a large application needs to be reviewed for security,
-    it must be entirely carefully checked, because it is possible that a
-    bug at some apparently unrelated place could lead to a leak of sensitive
-    information in a way that an external attacker could exploit.  For
-    example, if any part of the application provides web services, an
-    attacker might be able to issue unexpected requests with a regular web
-    browser and deduce secret information from the details of the answers he
-    gets.  Another example is the common CGI attack where an attacker sends
-    malformed inputs and causes the CGI script to do unintended things.
-
-    An approach like that of the Taint Object Space allows the small parts
-    of the program that manipulate sensitive data to be explicitly marked.
-    The effect of this is that although these small parts still need a
-    careful security review, the rest of the application no longer does,
-    because even a bug would be unable to leak the information.
-
-    We have implemented a simple two-level model: objects are either
-    regular (untainted), or sensitive (tainted).  Objects are marked as
-    sensitive if they are secret or untrusted, and only declassified at
-    carefully-checked positions (e.g. where the secret data is needed, or
-    after the untrusted data has been fully validated).
-
-    It would be simple to extend the code for more fine-grained scales of
-    secrecy.  For example it is typical in the literature to consider
-    user-specified lattices of secrecy levels, corresponding to multiple
-    "owners" that cannot access data belonging to another "owner" unless
-    explicitly authorized to do so.
-
-    Tainting and untainting
-    -----------------------
-
-    Start a py.py with the Taint Object Space and try the following example::
-
-        $ py.py -o taint
-        >>>> from __pypy__ import taint
-        >>>> x = taint(6)
-
-        # x is hidden from now on.  We can pass it around and
-        # even operate on it, but not inspect it.  Taintness
-        # is propagated to operation results.
-
-        >>>> x
-        TaintError
-
-        >>>> if x > 5: y = 2   # see below
-        TaintError
-
-        >>>> y = x + 5         # ok
-        >>>> lst = [x, y]
-        >>>> z = lst.pop()
-        >>>> t = type(z)       # type() works too, tainted answer
-        >>>> t
-        TaintError
-        >>>> u = t is int      # even 'is' works
-        >>>> u
-        TaintError
-
-    Notice that using a tainted boolean like ``x > 5`` in an ``if``
-    statement is forbidden.  This is because knowing which path is followed
-    would give away a hint about ``x``; in the example above, if the
-    statement ``if x > 5: y = 2`` was allowed to run, we would know
-    something about the value of ``x`` by looking at the (untainted) value
-    in the variable ``y``.
-
-    Of course, there is a way to inspect tainted objects.  The basic way is
-    to explicitly "declassify" it with the ``untaint()`` function.  In an
-    application, the places that use ``untaint()`` are the places that need
-    careful security review.  To avoid unexpected objects showing up, the
-    ``untaint()`` function must be called with the exact type of the object
-    to declassify.  It will raise ``TaintError`` if the type doesn't match::
-
-        >>>> from __pypy__ import taint
-        >>>> untaint(int, x)
-        6
-        >>>> untaint(int, z)
-        11
-        >>>> untaint(bool, x > 5)
-        True
-        >>>> untaint(int, x > 5)
-        TaintError
-
-
-    Taint Bombs
-    -----------
-
-    In this area, a common problem is what to do about failing operations.
-    If an operation raises an exception when manipulating a tainted object,
-    then the very presence of the exception can leak information about the
-    tainted object itself.  Consider::
-
-        >>>> 5 / (x-6)
-
-    By checking if this raises ``ZeroDivisionError`` or not, we would know
-    if ``x`` was equal to 6 or not.  The solution to this problem in the
-    Taint Object Space is to introduce *Taint Bombs*.  They are a kind of
-    tainted object that doesn't contain a real object, but a pending
-    exception.  Taint Bombs are indistinguishable from normal tainted
-    objects to unprivileged code. See::
-
-        >>>> x = taint(6)
-        >>>> i = 5 / (x-6)     # no exception here
-        >>>> j = i + 1         # nor here
-        >>>> k = j + 5         # nor here
-        >>>> untaint(int, k)
-        TaintError
-
-    In the above example, all of ``i``, ``j`` and ``k`` contain a Taint
-    Bomb.  Trying to untaint it raises an exception - a generic
-    ``TaintError``.  What we win is that the exception gives little away,
-    and most importantly it occurs at the point where ``untaint()`` is
-    called, not where the operation failed.  This means that all calls to
-    ``untaint()`` - but not the rest of the code - must be carefully
-    reviewed for what occurs if they receive a Taint Bomb; they might catch
-    the ``TaintError`` and give the user a generic message that something
-    went wrong, if we are reasonably careful that the message or even its
-    presence doesn't give information away.  This might be a
-    problem by itself, but there is no satisfying general solution here:
-    it must be considered on a case-by-case basis.  Again, what the
-    Taint Object Space approach achieves is not solving these problems, but
-    localizing them to well-defined small parts of the application - namely,
-    around calls to ``untaint()``.
-
-    The ``TaintError`` exception deliberately does not include any
-    useful error messages, because they might give information away.
-    Of course, this makes debugging quite a bit harder; a difficult
-    problem to solve properly.  So far we have implemented a way to peek in a Taint
-    Box or Bomb, ``__pypy__._taint_look(x)``, and a "debug mode" that
-    prints the exception as soon as a Bomb is created - both write
-    information to the low-level stderr of the application, where we hope
-    that it is unlikely to be seen by anyone but the application
-    developer.
-
-
-    Taint Atomic functions
-    ----------------------
-
-    Occasionally, a more complicated computation must be performed on a
-    tainted object.  This requires first untainting the object, performing the
-    computations, and then carefully tainting the result again (including
-    hiding all exceptions into Bombs).
-
-    There is a built-in decorator that does this for you::
-
-        >>>> @__pypy__.taint_atomic
-        >>>> def myop(x, y):
-        ....     while x > 0:
-        ....         x -= y
-        ....     return x
-        ....
-        >>>> myop(42, 10)
-        -8
-        >>>> z = myop(taint(42), 10)
-        >>>> z
-        TaintError
-        >>>> untaint(int, z)
-        -8
-
-    The decorator makes a whole function behave like a built-in operation.
-    If no tainted argument is passed in, the function behaves normally.  But
-    if any of the arguments is tainted, it is automatically untainted - so
-    the function body always sees untainted arguments - and the eventual
-    result is tainted again (possibly in a Taint Bomb).
-
-    It is important for the function marked as ``taint_atomic`` to have no
-    visible side effects, as these could cause information leakage.
-    This is currently not enforced, which means that all ``taint_atomic``
-    functions have to be carefully reviewed for security (but not the
-    callers of ``taint_atomic`` functions).
-
-    A possible future extension would be to forbid side-effects on
-    non-tainted objects from all ``taint_atomic`` functions.
-
-    An example of usage: given a tainted object ``passwords_db`` that
-    references a database of passwords, we can write a function
-    that checks if a password is valid as follows::
-
-        @taint_atomic
-        def validate(passwords_db, username, password):
-            assert type(passwords_db) is PasswordDatabase
-            assert type(username) is str
-            assert type(password) is str
-            ...load username entry from passwords_db...
-            return expected_password == password
-
-    It returns a tainted boolean answer, or a Taint Bomb if something
-    went wrong.  A caller can do::
-
-        ok = validate(passwords_db, 'john', '1234')
-        ok = untaint(bool, ok)
-
-    This can give three outcomes: ``True``, ``False``, or a ``TaintError``
-    exception (with no information on it) if anything went wrong.  If even
-    this is considered giving too much information away, the ``False`` case
-    can be made indistinguishable from the ``TaintError`` case (simply by
-    raising an exception in ``validate()`` if the password is wrong).
-
-    In the above example, the security results achieved are the following:
-    as long as ``validate()`` does not leak information, no other part of
-    the code can obtain more information about a passwords database than a
-    Yes/No answer to a precise query.
-
-    A possible extension of the ``taint_atomic`` decorator would be to check
-    the argument types, as ``untaint()`` does, for the same reason: to
-    prevent bugs where a function like ``validate()`` above is accidentally
-    called with the wrong kind of tainted object, which would make it
-    misbehave.  For now, all ``taint_atomic`` functions should be
-    conservative and carefully check all assumptions on their input
-    arguments.
-
-
-    .. _`taint-interface`:
-
-    Interface
-    ---------
-
-    .. _`like a built-in operation`:
-
-    The basic rule of the Tainted Object Space is that it introduces two new
-    kinds of objects, Tainted Boxes and Tainted Bombs (which are not types
-    in the Python sense).  Each box internally contains a regular object;
-    each bomb internally contains an exception object.  An operation
-    involving Tainted Boxes is performed on the objects contained in the
-    boxes, and gives a Tainted Box or a Tainted Bomb as a result (such an
-    operation does not let an exception be raised).  An operation called
-    with a Tainted Bomb argument immediately returns the same Tainted Bomb.
-
-    In a PyPy running with (or translated with) the Taint Object Space,
-    the ``__pypy__`` module exposes the following interface:
-
-    * ``taint(obj)``
-
-        Return a new Tainted Box wrapping ``obj``.  Return ``obj`` itself
-        if it is already tainted (a Box or a Bomb).
-
-    * ``is_tainted(obj)``
-
-        Check if ``obj`` is tainted (a Box or a Bomb).
-
-    * ``untaint(type, obj)``
-
-        Untaints ``obj`` if it is tainted.  Raise ``TaintError`` if the type
-        of the untainted object is not exactly ``type``, or if ``obj`` is a
-        Bomb.
-
-    * ``taint_atomic(func)``
-
-        Return a wrapper function around the callable ``func``.  The wrapper
-        behaves `like a built-in operation`_ with respect to untainting the
-        arguments, tainting the result, and returning a Bomb.
-
-    * ``TaintError``
-
-        Exception.  On purpose, it provides no attribute or error message.
-
-    * ``_taint_debug(level)``
-
-        Set the debugging level to ``level`` (0=off).  At level 1 or above,
-        all Taint Bombs print a diagnostic message to stderr when they are
-        created.
-

+Stacklets
++++++++++
+
+Continulets are internally implemented using stacklets, which is the
+generic RPython-level building block for "one-shot continuations".  For
+more information about them please see the documentation in the C source
+at `pypy/translator/c/src/stacklet/stacklet.h`_.
+
+The module ``pypy.rlib.rstacklet`` is a thin wrapper around the above
+functions.  The key point is that new() and switch() always return a
+fresh stacklet handle (or an empty one), and switch() additionally
+consumes one.  It makes no sense to have code in which the returned
+handle is ignored, or used more than once.  Note that ``stacklet.c`` is
+written assuming that the user knows that, and so no additional checking
+occurs; this can easily lead to obscure crashes if you don't use a
+wrapper like PyPy's '_continuation' module.

 be executed in IntegerSetStrategy,
 the annotator doesn't know what type d is. It could be an int-dict and then
 d[w_key],
 where w_key is always a wrapped object because of the getkeys()-method,
 would degenerate this object to an integer.

+    the object x.  The actual class of the proxy is not C in general,
+    but a *subclass* of C determined by the rules below.  To avoid confusion
+    we call view class the class of the proxy (a subclass of C, so of View)
+    and object class the class of x.
+
+    Attributes and methods not found in the proxy are automatically read on x.
+    Other operations like setting attributes are performed on the proxy, as
+    determined by its view class.  The object x is available from the proxy
+    as its __obj__ attribute.
+
+    The view class selection is determined by the __view__ tuples and the
+    optional __viewkey__ method.  By default, the selected view class is the
+    most specific subclass of C whose __view__ mentions the class of x.
+    If no such subclass is found, the search proceeds with the parent
+    object classes.  For example, C(True) will first look for a subclass
+    of C with __view__ = (..., bool, ...) and only if it doesn't find any
+    look for one with __view__ = (..., int, ...), and then ..., object,...
+    If everything fails the class C itself is considered to be the default.
+
+    Alternatively, the view class selection can be driven by another aspect
+    of the object x, instead of the class of x, by overriding __viewkey__.
+    See last example at the end of this module.

+"""HTTP/1.1 client library
+
+<intro stuff goes here>
+<other stuff, too>
+
+HTTPConnection goes through a number of "states", which define when a client
+may legally make another request or fetch the response for a particular
+request. This diagram details these state transitions:
+
+    (null)
+      |
+      | HTTPConnection()
+      v
+    Idle
+      |
+      | putrequest()
+      v
+    Request-started
+      |
+      | ( putheader() )*  endheaders()
+      v
+    Request-sent
+      |
+      | response = getresponse()
+      v
+    Unread-response   [Response-headers-read]
+      |\____________________
+      |                     |
+      | response.read()     | putrequest()
+      v                     v
+    Idle                  Req-started-unread-response
+                     ______/|
+                   /        |
+   response.read() |        | ( putheader() )*  endheaders()
+                   v        v
+       Request-started    Req-sent-unread-response
+                            |
+                            | response.read()
+                            v
+                          Request-sent
+
+This diagram presents the following rules:
+  -- a second request may not be started until {response-headers-read}
+  -- a response [object] cannot be retrieved until {request-sent}
+  -- there is no differentiation between an unread response body and a
+     partially read response body
+
+Note: this enforcement is applied by the HTTPConnection class. The
+      HTTPResponse class does not enforce this state machine, which
+      implies sophisticated clients may accelerate the request/response
+      pipeline. Caution should be taken, though: accelerating the states
+      beyond the above pattern may imply knowledge of the server's
+      connection-close behavior for certain requests. For example, it
+      is impossible to tell whether the server will close the connection
+      UNTIL the response headers have been read; this means that further
+      requests cannot be placed into the pipeline until it is known that
+      the server will NOT be closing the connection.
+
+Logical State                  __state            __response

+"""An extensible library for opening URLs using a variety of protocols
+
+The simplest way to use this module is to call the urlopen function,
+which accepts a string containing a URL or a Request object (described
+below).  It opens the URL and returns the results as file-like
+object; the returned object has some extra methods described below.
+
+The OpenerDirector manages a collection of Handler objects that do
+all the actual work.  Each Handler implements a particular protocol or
+option.  The OpenerDirector is a composite object that invokes the
+Handlers needed to open the requested URL.  For example, the
+HTTPHandler performs HTTP GET and POST requests and deals with
+non-error returns.  The HTTPRedirectHandler automatically deals with
+HTTP 301, 302, 303 and 307 redirect errors, and the HTTPDigestAuthHandler
+deals with digest authentication.
+
+urlopen(url, data=None) -- Basic usage is the same as original
+urllib.  pass the url and optionally data to post to an HTTP URL, and
+get a file-like object back.  One difference is that you can also pass
+a Request instance instead of URL.  Raises a URLError (subclass of
+IOError); for HTTP errors, raises an HTTPError, which can also be
+treated as a valid response.
+
+build_opener -- Function that creates a new OpenerDirector instance.
+Will install the default handlers.  Accepts one or more Handlers as
+arguments, either instances or Handler classes that it will
+instantiate.  If one of the argument is a subclass of the default
+handler, the argument will be installed instead of the default.
+
+install_opener -- Installs a new opener as the default opener.
+
+objects of interest:
+
+OpenerDirector -- Sets up the User Agent as the Python-urllib client and manages
+the Handler classes, while dealing with requests and responses.
+
+Request -- An object that encapsulates the state of a request.  The
+state can be as simple as the URL.  It can also include extra HTTP
+headers, e.g. a User-Agent.
+
+BaseHandler --
+
+exceptions:
+URLError -- A subclass of IOError, individual protocols have their own
+specific subclass.
+
+HTTPError -- Also a valid HTTP response, so you can treat an HTTP error
+as an exceptional event or valid response.
+
+internals:
+BaseHandler and parent
+_call_chain conventions
+
+Example usage:
+
+import urllib2
+
+# set up authentication info
+authinfo = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
+authinfo.add_password(realm='PDQ Application',
+                      uri='https://mahler:8092/site-updates.py',
+                      user='klem',
+                      passwd='geheim$parole')
+
+proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "http://ahad-haam:3128"})
+
+# build a new opener that adds authentication and caching FTP handlers
+opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, authinfo, urllib2.CacheFTPHandler)
+
+# install it
+urllib2.install_opener(opener)
+
+f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
+
+
+"""
+
+# XXX issues:
+# If an authentication error handler that tries to perform
+# authentication for some reason but fails, how should the error be
+# signalled?  The client needs to know the HTTP error code.  But if
+# the handler knows that the problem was, e.g., that it didn't know
+# that hash algo that requested in the challenge, it would be good to
+# pass that information along to the client, too.
+# ftp errors aren't handled cleanly
+# check digest against correct (i.e. non-apache) implementation
+
+# Possible extensions:
+# complex proxies  XXX not sure what exactly was meant by this
+# abstract factory for opener

-
-    When the taint object space is used (choose with :config:`objspace.name`),
-    the following names are put into ``__pypy__``:
-
-     - ``taint``
-     - ``is_tainted``
-     - ``untaint``
-     - ``taint_atomic``
-     - ``_taint_debug``
-     - ``_taint_look``
-     - ``TaintError``
-
-    Those are all described in the `interface section of the taint object space
-    docs`_.
-
-    For more detailed explanations and examples see the `taint object space docs`_.

+Mutating classes of objects which are already used as dictionary keys
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Consider the following snippet of code::
+
+    class X(object):
+        pass
+
+    def __evil_eq__(self, other):
+        print 'hello world'
+        return False
+
+    def evil(y):
+        d = {x(): 1}
+        X.__eq__ = __evil_eq__
+        d[y] # might trigger a call to __eq__?
+
+In CPython, __evil_eq__ **might** be called, although there is no way to write
+a test which reliably calls it.  It happens if ``y is not x`` and ``hash(y) ==
+hash(x)``, where ``hash(x)`` is computed when ``x`` is inserted into the
+dictionary.  If **by chance** the condition is satisfied, then ``__evil_eq__``
+is called.
+
+PyPy uses a special strategy to optimize dictionaries whose keys are instances
+of user-defined classes which do not override the default ``__hash__``,
+``__eq__`` and ``__cmp__``: when using this strategy, ``__eq__`` and
+``__cmp__`` are never called, but instead the lookup is done by identity, so
+in the case above it is guaranteed that ``__eq__`` won't be called.
+
+Note that in all other cases (e.g., if you have a custom ``__hash__`` and
+``__eq__`` in ``y``) the behavior is exactly the same as CPython.

+Can RPython modules for PyPy be translated independently?
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+No, you have to rebuild the entire interpreter.  This means two things:
+
+* It is imperative to use test-driven development.  You have to test
+  exhaustively your module in pure Python, before even attempting to
+  translate it.  Once you translate it, you should have only a few typing
+  issues left to fix, but otherwise the result should work out of the box.
+
+* Second, and perhaps most important: do you have a really good reason
+  for writing the module in RPython in the first place?  Nowadays you
+  should really look at alternatives, like writing it in pure Python,
+  using ctypes if it needs to call C code.  Other alternatives are being
+  developed too (as of summer 2011), like a Cython binding.
+
+In this context it is not that important to be able to translate
+RPython modules independently of translating the complete interpreter.
+(It could be done given enough efforts, but it's a really serious
+undertaking.  Consider it as quite unlikely for now.)

-.. broken right now:

-    .. _taint:
-
-    The Taint Object Space
-    ======================
-
-    Motivation
-    ----------
-
-    The Taint Object Space provides a form of security: "tainted objects",
-    inspired by various sources, see [D12.1]_ for a more detailed discussion. 
-
-    The basic idea of this kind of security is not to protect against
-    malicious code but to help with handling and boxing sensitive data. 
-    It covers two kinds of sensitive data: secret data which should not leak, 
-    and untrusted data coming from an external source and that must be 
-    validated before it is used.
-
-    The idea is that, considering a large application that handles these
-    kinds of sensitive data, there are typically only a small number of
-    places that need to explicitly manipulate that sensitive data; all the
-    other places merely pass it around, or do entirely unrelated things.
-
-    Nevertheless, if a large application needs to be reviewed for security,
-    it must be entirely carefully checked, because it is possible that a
-    bug at some apparently unrelated place could lead to a leak of sensitive
-    information in a way that an external attacker could exploit.  For
-    example, if any part of the application provides web services, an
-    attacker might be able to issue unexpected requests with a regular web
-    browser and deduce secret information from the details of the answers he
-    gets.  Another example is the common CGI attack where an attacker sends
-    malformed inputs and causes the CGI script to do unintended things.
-
-    An approach like that of the Taint Object Space allows the small parts
-    of the program that manipulate sensitive data to be explicitly marked.
-    The effect of this is that although these small parts still need a
-    careful security review, the rest of the application no longer does,
-    because even a bug would be unable to leak the information.
-
-    We have implemented a simple two-level model: objects are either
-    regular (untainted), or sensitive (tainted).  Objects are marked as
-    sensitive if they are secret or untrusted, and only declassified at
-    carefully-checked positions (e.g. where the secret data is needed, or
-    after the untrusted data has been fully validated).
-
-    It would be simple to extend the code for more fine-grained scales of
-    secrecy.  For example it is typical in the literature to consider
-    user-specified lattices of secrecy levels, corresponding to multiple
-    "owners" that cannot access data belonging to another "owner" unless
-    explicitly authorized to do so.
-
-    Tainting and untainting
-    -----------------------
-
-    Start a py.py with the Taint Object Space and try the following example::
-
-        $ py.py -o taint
-        >>>> from __pypy__ import taint
-        >>>> x = taint(6)
-
-        # x is hidden from now on.  We can pass it around and
-        # even operate on it, but not inspect it.  Taintness
-        # is propagated to operation results.
-
-        >>>> x
-        TaintError
-
-        >>>> if x > 5: y = 2   # see below
-        TaintError
-
-        >>>> y = x + 5         # ok

-        >>>> t

-        >>>> u = t is int      # even 'is' works
-        >>>> u
-        TaintError
-
-    Notice that using a tainted boolean like ``x > 5`` in an ``if``
-    statement is forbidden.  This is because knowing which path is followed
-    would give away a hint about ``x``; in the example above, if the
-    statement ``if x > 5: y = 2`` was allowed to run, we would know
-    something about the value of ``x`` by looking at the (untainted) value
-    in the variable ``y``.
-
-    Of course, there is a way to inspect tainted objects.  The basic way is
-    to explicitly "declassify" it with the ``untaint()`` function.  In an
-    application, the places that use ``untaint()`` are the places that need
-    careful security review.  To avoid unexpected objects showing up, the
-    ``untaint()`` function must be called with the exact type of the object
-    to declassify.  It will raise ``TaintError`` if the type doesn't match::
-
-        >>>> from __pypy__ import taint
-        >>>> untaint(int, x)
-        6
-        >>>> untaint(int, z)
-        11
-        >>>> untaint(bool, x > 5)
-        True
-        >>>> untaint(int, x > 5)
-        TaintError
-
-
-    Taint Bombs
-    -----------
-
-    In this area, a common problem is what to do about failing operations.
-    If an operation raises an exception when manipulating a tainted object,
-    then the very presence of the exception can leak information about the
-    tainted object itself.  Consider::
-
-        >>>> 5 / (x-6)
-
-    By checking if this raises ``ZeroDivisionError`` or not, we would know
-    if ``x`` was equal to 6 or not.  The solution to this problem in the
-    Taint Object Space is to introduce *Taint Bombs*.  They are a kind of
-    tainted object that doesn't contain a real object, but a pending
-    exception.  Taint Bombs are indistinguishable from normal tainted
-    objects to unprivileged code. See::
-
-        >>>> x = taint(6)
-        >>>> i = 5 / (x-6)     # no exception here
-        >>>> j = i + 1         # nor here
-        >>>> k = j + 5         # nor here
-        >>>> untaint(int, k)
-        TaintError
-
-    In the above example, all of ``i``, ``j`` and ``k`` contain a Taint
-    Bomb.  Trying to untaint it raises an exception - a generic
-    ``TaintError``.  What we win is that the exception gives little away,
-    and most importantly it occurs at the point where ``untaint()`` is
-    called, not where the operation failed.  This means that all calls to
-    ``untaint()`` - but not the rest of the code - must be carefully
-    reviewed for what occurs if they receive a Taint Bomb; they might catch
-    the ``TaintError`` and give the user a generic message that something
-    went wrong, if we are reasonably careful that the message or even its
-    presence doesn't give information away.  This might be a
-    problem by itself, but there is no satisfying general solution here:
-    it must be considered on a case-by-case basis.  Again, what the
-    Taint Object Space approach achieves is not solving these problems, but
-    localizing them to well-defined small parts of the application - namely,
-    around calls to ``untaint()``.
-
-    The ``TaintError`` exception deliberately does not include any
-    useful error messages, because they might give information away.
-    Of course, this makes debugging quite a bit harder; a difficult
-    problem to solve properly.  So far we have implemented a way to peek in a Taint
-    Box or Bomb, ``__pypy__._taint_look(x)``, and a "debug mode" that
-    prints the exception as soon as a Bomb is created - both write
-    information to the low-level stderr of the application, where we hope
-    that it is unlikely to be seen by anyone but the application
-    developer.
-
-
-    Taint Atomic functions
-    ----------------------
-
-    Occasionally, a more complicated computation must be performed on a
-    tainted object.  This requires first untainting the object, performing the
-    computations, and then carefully tainting the result again (including
-    hiding all exceptions into Bombs).
-
-    There is a built-in decorator that does this for you::
-
-        >>>> @__pypy__.taint_atomic
-        >>>> def myop(x, y):
-        ....     while x > 0:
-        ....         x -= y
-        ....     return x
-        ....
-        >>>> myop(42, 10)
-        -8
-        >>>> z = myop(taint(42), 10)
-        >>>> z
-        TaintError
-        >>>> untaint(int, z)
-        -8
-
-    The decorator makes a whole function behave like a built-in operation.
-    If no tainted argument is passed in, the function behaves normally.  But
-    if any of the arguments is tainted, it is automatically untainted - so
-    the function body always sees untainted arguments - and the eventual
-    result is tainted again (possibly in a Taint Bomb).
-
-    It is important for the function marked as ``taint_atomic`` to have no
-    visible side effects, as these could cause information leakage.
-    This is currently not enforced, which means that all ``taint_atomic``
-    functions have to be carefully reviewed for security (but not the
-    callers of ``taint_atomic`` functions).
-
-    A possible future extension would be to forbid side-effects on
-    non-tainted objects from all ``taint_atomic`` functions.
-
-    An example of usage: given a tainted object ``passwords_db`` that
-    references a database of passwords, we can write a function
-    that checks if a password is valid as follows::
-
-        @taint_atomic
-        def validate(passwords_db, username, password):
-            assert type(passwords_db) is PasswordDatabase
-            assert type(username) is str
-            assert type(password) is str
-            ...load username entry from passwords_db...
-            return expected_password == password
-
-    It returns a tainted boolean answer, or a Taint Bomb if something
-    went wrong.  A caller can do::
-
-        ok = validate(passwords_db, 'john', '1234')
-        ok = untaint(bool, ok)
-
-    This can give three outcomes: ``True``, ``False``, or a ``TaintError``
-    exception (with no information on it) if anything went wrong.  If even
-    this is considered giving too much information away, the ``False`` case
-    can be made indistinguishable from the ``TaintError`` case (simply by
-    raising an exception in ``validate()`` if the password is wrong).
-
-    In the above example, the security results achieved are the following:
-    as long as ``validate()`` does not leak information, no other part of
-    the code can obtain more information about a passwords database than a
-    Yes/No answer to a precise query.
-
-    A possible extension of the ``taint_atomic`` decorator would be to check
-    the argument types, as ``untaint()`` does, for the same reason: to
-    prevent bugs where a function like ``validate()`` above is accidentally
-    called with the wrong kind of tainted object, which would make it
-    misbehave.  For now, all ``taint_atomic`` functions should be
-    conservative and carefully check all assumptions on their input
-    arguments.
-

-
-    Interface
-    ---------
-
-    .. _`like a built-in operation`:
-
-    The basic rule of the Tainted Object Space is that it introduces two new
-    kinds of objects, Tainted Boxes and Tainted Bombs (which are not types
-    in the Python sense).  Each box internally contains a regular object;
-    each bomb internally contains an exception object.  An operation
-    involving Tainted Boxes is performed on the objects contained in the
-    boxes, and gives a Tainted Box or a Tainted Bomb as a result (such an
-    operation does not let an exception be raised).  An operation called
-    with a Tainted Bomb argument immediately returns the same Tainted Bomb.
-
-    In a PyPy running with (or translated with) the Taint Object Space,
-    the ``__pypy__`` module exposes the following interface:
-
-    * ``taint(obj)``
-
-        Return a new Tainted Box wrapping ``obj``.  Return ``obj`` itself
-        if it is already tainted (a Box or a Bomb).
-
-    * ``is_tainted(obj)``
-
-        Check if ``obj`` is tainted (a Box or a Bomb).
-
-    * ``untaint(type, obj)``
-
-        Untaints ``obj`` if it is tainted.  Raise ``TaintError`` if the type
-        of the untainted object is not exactly ``type``, or if ``obj`` is a
-        Bomb.
-
-    * ``taint_atomic(func)``
-
-        Return a wrapper function around the callable ``func``.  The wrapper
-        behaves `like a built-in operation`_ with respect to untainting the
-        arguments, tainting the result, and returning a Bomb.
-
-    * ``TaintError``
-
-        Exception.  On purpose, it provides no attribute or error message.
-
-    * ``_taint_debug(level)``
-
-        Set the debugging level to ``level`` (0=off).  At level 1 or above,
-        all Taint Bombs print a diagnostic message to stderr when they are
-        created.
-
-    * ``_taint_look(obj)``
-
-        For debugging purposes: prints (to stderr) the type and address of
-        the object in a Tainted Box, or prints the exception if ``obj`` is
-        a Taint Bomb.

+========================
+PyPy 1.6 - kickass panda
+========================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.6 release of PyPy. This release brings a lot
+of bugfixes and performance improvements over 1.5, and improves support for
+Windows 32bit and OS X 64bit. This version fully implements Python 2.7.1 and
+has beta level support for loading CPython C extensions.  You can download it
+here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7.1. It's fast (`pypy 1.5 and cpython 2.6.2`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64 or Mac OS X.  Windows 32
+is beta (it roughly works but a lot of small issues have not been fixed so
+far).  Windows 64 is not yet supported.
+
+The main topics of this release are speed and stability: on average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.6 is between **20% and 30%** faster than PyPy 1.5,
+which was already much faster than CPython on our set of benchmarks.
+
+The speed improvements have been made possible by optimizing many of the
+layers which compose PyPy.  In particular, we improved: the Garbage Collector,
+the JIT warmup time, the optimizations performed by the JIT, the quality of
+the generated machine code and the implementation of our Python interpreter.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.5 and cpython 2.6.2`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements, overall giving considerable speedups:
+
+  - better GC behavior when dealing with very large objects and arrays
+
+  - **fast ctypes:** now calls to ctypes functions are seen and optimized
+    by the JIT, and they are up to 60 times faster than PyPy 1.5 and 10 times
+    faster than CPython
+
+  - improved generators(1): simple generators now are inlined into the caller
+    loop, making performance up to 3.5 times faster than PyPy 1.5.
+
+  - improved generators(2): thanks to other optimizations, even generators
+    that are not inlined are between 10% and 20% faster than PyPy 1.5.
+
+  - faster warmup time for the JIT
+
+  - JIT support for single floats (e.g., for ``array('f')``)
+
+  - optimized dictionaries: the internal representation of dictionaries is now
+    dynamically selected depending on the type of stored objects, resulting in
+    faster code and smaller memory footprint.  For example, dictionaries whose
+    keys are all strings, or all integers. Other dictionaries are also smaller
+    due to bugfixes.
+
+* JitViewer: this is the first official release which includes the JitViewer,
+  a web-based tool which helps you to see which parts of your Python code have
+  been compiled by the JIT, down until the assembler. The `jitviewer`_ 0.1 has
+  already been release and works well with PyPy 1.6.
+
+* The CPython extension module API has been improved and now supports many
+  more extensions. For information on which one are supported, please refer to
+  our `compatibility wiki`_.
+
+* Multibyte encoding support: this was of of the last areas in which we were
+  still behind CPython, but now we fully support them.
+
+* Preliminary support for NumPy: this release includes a preview of a very
+  fast NumPy module integrated with the PyPy JIT.  Unfortunately, this does
+  not mean that you can expect to take an existing NumPy program and run it on
+  PyPy, because the module is still unfinished and supports only some of the
+  numpy API. However, barring some details, what works should be
+  blazingly fast :-)
+
+* Bugfixes: since the 1.5 release we fixed 53 bugs in our `bug tracker`_, not
+  counting the numerous bugs that were found and reported through other
+  channels than the bug tracker.
+
+Cheers,

-``rstack``
-==========
-
-The `pypy/rlib/rstack.py`_ module allows an RPython program to control its own execution stack.
-This is only useful if the program is translated using stackless. An old
-description of the exposed functions is below.
-
-We introduce an RPython type ``frame_stack_top`` and a built-in function
-``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` that work as follows (see example below):
-
-* The built-in function ``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` causes the current
-  function's state to be captured in a new ``frame_stack_top`` object that is
-  returned to the parent.  Only one frame, the current one, is captured this
-  way.  The current frame is suspended and the caller continues to run.  Note
-  that the caller is only resumed once: when
-  ``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` is called.  See below.
-
-* A ``frame_stack_top`` object can be jumped to by calling its ``switch()``
-  method with no argument.
-
-* ``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` and ``switch()`` themselves return a new
-  ``frame_stack_top`` object: the freshly captured state of the caller of the
-  source ``switch()`` that was just executed, or None in the case described
-  below.
-
-* the function that called ``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` also has a
-  normal return statement, like all functions.  This statement must return
-  another ``frame_stack_top`` object.  The latter is *not* returned to the
-  original caller; there is no way to return several times to the caller.
-  Instead, it designates the place to which the execution must jump, as if by
-  a ``switch()``.  The place to which we jump this way will see a None as the
-  source frame stack top.
-
-* every frame stack top must be resumed once and only once.  Not resuming
-  it at all causes a leak.  Resuming it several times causes a crash.
-
-* a function that called ``yield_current_frame_to_caller()`` should not raise.
-  It would have no implicit parent frame to propagate the exception to.  That
-  would be a crashingly bad idea.
-
-The following example would print the numbers from 1 to 7 in order::
-
-    def g():
-        print 2
-        frametop_before_5 = yield_current_frame_to_caller()
-        print 4
-        frametop_before_7 = frametop_before_5.switch()
-        print 6
-        return frametop_before_7
-
-    def f():
-        print 1
-        frametop_before_4 = g()
-        print 3
-        frametop_before_6 = frametop_before_4.switch()
-        print 5
-        frametop_after_return = frametop_before_6.switch()

 PyPy can expose to its user language features similar to the ones

+This feature is based on a custom primitive called a continulet_.
+Continulets can be directly used by application code, or it is possible
+to write (entirely at app-level) more user-friendly interfaces.
 
-* Greenlets_;
+Currently PyPy implements greenlets_ on top of continulets.  It would be
+easy to implement tasklets and channels as well, emulating the model
+of `Stackless Python`_.
 
-* Plain coroutines_.
+Continulets are extremely light-weight, which means that PyPy should be
+able to handle programs containing large amounts of them.  However, due
+to an implementation restriction, a PyPy compiled with
+``--gcrootfinder=shadowstack`` consumes at least one page of physical
+memory (4KB) per live continulet, and half a megabyte of virtual memory
+on 32-bit or a complete megabyte on 64-bit.  Moreover, the feature is
+only available (so far) on x86 and x86-64 CPUs; for other CPUs you need
+to add a short page of custom assembler to
+`pypy/translator/c/src/stacklet/`_.
 
-All of them are extremely light-weight, which means that PyPy should be
-able to handle programs containing large amounts of coroutines, tasklets
-and greenlets.
 
+Theory
+======
 
-Requirements
-++++++++++++++++
+The fundamental idea is that, at any point in time, the program happens
+to run one stack of frames (or one per thread, in case of
+multi-threading).  To see the stack, start at the top frame and follow
+the chain of ``f_back`` until you reach the bottom frame.  From the
+point of view of one of these frames, it has a ``f_back`` pointing to
+another frame (unless it is the bottom frame), and it is itself being
+pointed to by another frame (unless it is the top frame).
 
-If you are running py.py on top of CPython, then you need to enable
-the _stackless module by running it as follows::
+The theory behind continulets is to literally take the previous sentence
+as definition of "an O.K. situation".  The trick is that there are
+O.K. situations that are more complex than just one stack: you will
+always have one stack, but you can also have in addition one or more
+detached *cycles* of frames, such that by following the ``f_back`` chain
+you run in a circle.  But note that these cycles are indeed completely
+detached: the top frame (the currently running one) is always the one
+which is not the ``f_back`` of anybody else, and it is always the top of
+a stack that ends with the bottom frame, never a part of these extra
+cycles.
 
-    py.py --withmod-_stackless
+How do you create such cycles?  The fundamental operation to do so is to
+take two frames and *permute* their ``f_back`` --- i.e. exchange them.
+You can permute any two ``f_back`` without breaking the rule of "an O.K.
+situation".  Say for example that ``f`` is some frame halfway down the
+stack, and you permute its ``f_back`` with the ``f_back`` of the top
+frame.  Then you have removed from the normal stack all intermediate
+frames, and turned them into one stand-alone cycle.  By doing the same
+permutation again you restore the original situation.
 
-This is implemented internally using greenlets, so it only works on a
-platform where `greenlets`_ are supported.  A few features do
-not work this way, though, and really require a translated
-``pypy-c``.
+In practice, in PyPy, you cannot change the ``f_back`` of an abitrary
+frame, but only of frames stored in ``continulets``.
 
-To obtain a translated version of ``pypy-c`` that includes Stackless
-support, run translate.py as follows::
-
-    cd pypy/translator/goal
-    python translate.py --stackless
+Continulets are internally implemented using stacklets_.  Stacklets are a
+bit more primitive (they are really one-shot continuations), but that
+idea only works in C, not in Python.  The basic idea of continulets is
+to have at any point in time a complete valid stack; this is important
+e.g. to correctly propagate exceptions (and it seems to give meaningful
+tracebacks too).
 
 
 Application level interface
 =============================
 
-A stackless PyPy contains a module called ``stackless``.  The interface
-exposed by this module have not been refined much, so it should be
-considered in-flux (as of 2007).
 
-So far, PyPy does not provide support for ``stackless`` in a threaded
-environment.  This limitation is not fundamental, as previous experience
-has shown, so supporting this would probably be reasonably easy.
+.. _continulet:
 
-An interesting point is that the same ``stackless`` module can provide
-a number of different concurrency paradigms at the same time.  From a
-theoretical point of view, none of above-mentioned existing three
-paradigms considered on its own is new: two of them are from previous
-Python work, and the third one is a variant of the classical coroutine.
-The new part is that the PyPy implementation manages to provide all of
-them and let the user implement more.  Moreover - and this might be an
-important theoretical contribution of this work - we manage to provide
-these concurrency concepts in a "composable" way.  In other words, it
-is possible to naturally mix in a single application multiple
-concurrency paradigms, and multiple unrelated usages of the same
-paradigm.  This is discussed in the Composability_ section below.
+Continulets
++++++++++++
 
+A translated PyPy contains by default a module called ``_continuation``
+exporting the type ``continulet``.  A ``continulet`` object from this
+module is a container that stores a "one-shot continuation".  It plays
+the role of an extra frame you can insert in the stack, and whose
+``f_back`` can be changed.
 
-Infinite recursion
-++++++++++++++++++
+To make a continulet object, call ``continulet()`` with a callable and
+optional extra arguments.
 
-Any stackless PyPy executable natively supports recursion that is only
-limited by the available memory.  As in normal Python, though, there is
-an initial recursion limit (which is 5000 in all pypy-c's, and 1000 in
-CPython).  It can be changed with ``sys.setrecursionlimit()``.  With a
-stackless PyPy, any value is acceptable - use ``sys.maxint`` for
-unlimited.
+Later, the first time you ``switch()`` to the continulet, the callable
+is invoked with the same continulet object as the extra first argument.
+At that point, the one-shot continuation stored in the continulet points
+to the caller of ``switch()``.  In other words you have a perfectly
+normal-looking stack of frames.  But when ``switch()`` is called again,
+this stored one-shot continuation is exchanged with the current one; it
+means that the caller of ``switch()`` is suspended with its continuation
+stored in the container, and the old continuation from the continulet
+object is resumed.
 
-In some cases, you can write Python code that causes interpreter-level
-infinite recursion -- i.e. infinite recursion without going via
-application-level function calls.  It is possible to limit that too,
-with ``_stackless.set_stack_depth_limit()``, or to unlimit it completely
-by setting it to ``sys.maxint``.
+The most primitive API is actually 'permute()', which just permutes the
+one-shot continuation stored in two (or more) continulets.
 
+In more details:
 
-Coroutines
-++++++++++
+* ``continulet(callable, *args, **kwds)``: make a new continulet.
+  Like a generator, this only creates it; the ``callable`` is only
+  actually called the first time it is switched to.  It will be
+  called as follows::
 
-A Coroutine is similar to a very small thread, with no preemptive scheduling.
-Within a family of coroutines, the flow of execution is explicitly
-transferred from one to another by the programmer.  When execution is
-transferred to a coroutine, it begins to execute some Python code.  When
-it transfers execution away from itself it is temporarily suspended, and
-when execution returns to it it resumes its execution from the
-point where it was suspended.  Conceptually, only one coroutine is
-actively running at any given time (but see Composability_ below).
+      callable(cont, *args, **kwds)
 
-The ``stackless.coroutine`` class is instantiated with no argument.
-It provides the following methods and attributes:
+  where ``cont`` is the same continulet object.
 
-* ``stackless.coroutine.getcurrent()``
+  Note that it is actually ``cont.__init__()`` that binds
+  the continulet.  It is also possible to create a not-bound-yet
+  continulet by calling explicitly ``continulet.__new__()``, and
+  only bind it later by calling explicitly ``cont.__init__()``.
 
-    Static method returning the currently running coroutine.  There is a
-    so-called "main" coroutine object that represents the "outer"
-    execution context, where your main program started and where it runs
-    as long as it does not switch to another coroutine.
+* ``cont.switch(value=None, to=None)``: start the continulet if
+  it was not started yet.  Otherwise, store the current continuation
+  in ``cont``, and activate the target continuation, which is the
+  one that was previously stored in ``cont``.  Note that the target
+  continuation was itself previously suspended by another call to
+  ``switch()``; this older ``switch()`` will now appear to return.
+  The ``value`` argument is any object that is carried to the target
+  and returned by the target's ``switch()``.
 
-* ``coro.bind(callable, *args, **kwds)``
+  If ``to`` is given, it must be another continulet object.  In
+  that case, performs a "double switch": it switches as described
+  above to ``cont``, and then immediately switches again to ``to``.
+  This is different from switching directly to ``to``: the current
+  continuation gets stored in ``cont``, the old continuation from
+  ``cont`` gets stored in ``to``, and only then we resume the
+  execution from the old continuation out of ``to``.
 
-    Bind the coroutine so that it will execute ``callable(*args,
-    **kwds)``.  The call is not performed immediately, but only the
-    first time we call the ``coro.switch()`` method.  A coroutine must
-    be bound before it is switched to.  When the coroutine finishes
-    (because the call to the callable returns), the coroutine exits and
-    implicitly switches back to another coroutine (its "parent"); after
-    this point, it is possible to bind it again and switch to it again.
-    (Which coroutine is the parent of which is not documented, as it is
-    likely to change when the interface is refined.)
+* ``cont.throw(type, value=None, tb=None, to=None)``: similar to
+  ``switch()``, except that immediately after the switch is done, raise
+  the given exception in the target.
 
-* ``coro.switch()``
+* ``cont.is_pending()``: return True if the continulet is pending.
+  This is False when it is not initialized (because we called
+  ``__new__`` and not ``__init__``) or when it is finished (because
+  the ``callable()`` returned).  When it is False, the continulet
+  object is empty and cannot be ``switch()``-ed to.
 
-    Suspend the current (caller) coroutine, and resume execution in the
-    target coroutine ``coro``.
+* ``permute(*continulets)``: a global function that permutes the
+  continuations stored in the given continulets arguments.  Mostly
+  theoretical.  In practice, using ``cont.switch()`` is easier and
+  more efficient than using ``permute()``; the latter does not on
+  its own change the currently running frame.
 
-* ``coro.kill()``
 
-    Kill ``coro`` by sending a CoroutineExit exception and switching
-    execution immediately to it. This exception can be caught in the 
-    coroutine itself and can be raised from any call to ``coro.switch()``. 
-    This exception isn't propagated to the parent coroutine.
+Genlets
++++++++
 
-* ``coro.throw(type, value)``
+The ``_continuation`` module also exposes the ``generator`` decorator::
 
-    Insert an exception in ``coro`` an resume switches execution
-    immediately to it. In the coroutine itself, this exception
-    will come from any call to ``coro.switch()`` and can be caught. If the
-    exception isn't caught, it will be propagated to the parent coroutine.
+    @generator
+    def f(cont, a, b):
+        cont.switch(a + b)
+        cont.switch(a + b + 1)
 
-When a coroutine is garbage-collected, it gets the ``.kill()`` method sent to
-it. This happens at the point the next ``.switch`` method is called, so the
-target coroutine of this call will be executed only after the ``.kill`` has
-finished.
+    for i in f(10, 20):
+        print i
 
-Example
-~~~~~~~
+This example prints 30 and 31.  The only advantage over using regular
+generators is that the generator itself is not limited to ``yield``
+statements that must all occur syntactically in the same function.
+Instead, we can pass around ``cont``, e.g. to nested sub-functions, and
+call ``cont.switch(x)`` from there.
 
-Here is a classical producer/consumer example: an algorithm computes a
-sequence of values, while another consumes them.  For our purposes we
-assume that the producer can generate several values at once, and the
-consumer can process up to 3 values in a batch - it can also process
-batches with fewer than 3 values without waiting for the producer (which
-would be messy to express with a classical Python generator). ::
+The ``generator`` decorator can also be applied to methods::
 
-    def producer(lst):
-        while True:
-            ...compute some more values...
-            lst.extend(new_values)
-            coro_consumer.switch()
-
-    def consumer(lst):
-        while True:
-            # First ask the producer for more values if needed
-            while len(lst) == 0:
-                coro_producer.switch()
-            # Process the available values in a batch, but at most 3
-            batch = lst[:3]
-            del lst[:3]
-            ...process batch...
-
-    # Initialize two coroutines with a shared list as argument
-    exchangelst = []
-    coro_producer = coroutine()
-    coro_producer.bind(producer, exchangelst)
-    coro_consumer = coroutine()
-    coro_consumer.bind(consumer, exchangelst)
-
-    # Start running the consumer coroutine
-    coro_consumer.switch()
-
-
-Tasklets and channels
-+++++++++++++++++++++
-
-The ``stackless`` module also provides an interface that is roughly
-compatible with the interface of the ``stackless`` module in `Stackless
-Python`_: it contains ``stackless.tasklet`` and ``stackless.channel``
-classes.  Tasklets are also similar to microthreads, but (like coroutines)
-they don't actually run in parallel with other microthreads; instead,
-they synchronize and exchange data with each other over Channels, and
-these exchanges determine which Tasklet runs next.
-
-For usage reference, see the documentation on the `Stackless Python`_
-website.
-
-Note that Tasklets and Channels are implemented at application-level in
-`lib_pypy/stackless.py`_ on top of coroutines_.  You can refer to this
-module for more details and API documentation.
-
-The stackless.py code tries to resemble the stackless C code as much
-as possible. This makes the code somewhat unpythonic.
-
-Bird's eye view of tasklets and channels
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Tasklets are a bit like threads: they encapsulate a function in such a way that
-they can be suspended/restarted any time. Unlike threads, they won't
-run concurrently, but must be cooperative. When using stackless
-features, it is vitally important that no action is performed that blocks
-everything else.  In particular, blocking input/output should be centralized
-to a single tasklet.
-
-Communication between tasklets is done via channels. 
-There are three ways for a tasklet to give up control:
-
-1. call ``stackless.schedule()``
-2. send something over a channel
-3. receive something from a channel
-
-A (live) tasklet can either be running, waiting to get scheduled, or be
-blocked by a channel.
-
-Scheduling is done in strictly round-robin manner. A blocked tasklet
-is removed from the scheduling queue and will be reinserted when it
-becomes unblocked.
-
-Example
-~~~~~~~
-
-Here is a many-producers many-consumers example, where any consumer can
-process the result of any producer.  For this situation we set up a
-single channel where all producer send, and on which all consumers
-wait::
-
-    def producer(chan):
-        while True:
-            chan.send(...next value...)
-
-    def consumer(chan):
-        while True:
-            x = chan.receive()
-            ...do something with x...
-
-    # Set up the N producer and M consumer tasklets
-    common_channel = stackless.channel()
-    for i in range(N):
-        stackless.tasklet(producer, common_channel)()
-    for i in range(M):
-        stackless.tasklet(consumer, common_channel)()
-
-    # Run it all
-    stackless.run()
-
-Each item sent over the channel is received by one of the waiting
-consumers; which one is not specified.  The producers block until their
-item is consumed: the channel is not a queue, but rather a meeting point
-which causes tasklets to block until both a consumer and a producer are
-ready.  In practice, the reason for having several consumers receiving
-on a single channel is that some of the consumers can be busy in other
-ways part of the time.  For example, each consumer might receive a
-database request, process it, and send the result to a further channel
-before it asks for the next request.  In this situation, further
-requests can still be received by other consumers.
+    class X:
+        @generator
+        def f(self, cont, a, b):
+            ...
 
 
 Greenlets
 +++++++++
 
-A Greenlet is a kind of primitive Tasklet with a lower-level interface
-and with exact control over the execution order.  Greenlets are similar
-to Coroutines, with a slightly different interface: greenlets put more
-emphasis on a tree structure.  The various greenlets of a program form a
-precise tree, which fully determines their order of execution.
+Greenlets are implemented on top of continulets in `lib_pypy/greenlet.py`_.
+See the official `documentation of the greenlets`_.
 
-For usage reference, see the `documentation of the greenlets`_.
-The PyPy interface is identical.  You should use ``greenlet.greenlet``
-instead of ``stackless.greenlet`` directly, because the greenlet library
-can give you the latter when you ask for the former on top of PyPy.
+Note that unlike the CPython greenlets, this version does not suffer
+from GC issues: if the program "forgets" an unfinished greenlet, it will
+always be collected at the next garbage collection.
 
-PyPy's greenlets do not suffer from the cyclic GC limitation that the
-CPython greenlets have: greenlets referencing each other via local
-variables tend to leak on top of CPython (where it is mostly impossible
-to do the right thing).  It works correctly on top of PyPy.
 
+Unimplemented features
+++++++++++++++++++++++
 
-Coroutine Pickling
-++++++++++++++++++
+The following features (present in some past Stackless version of PyPy)
+are for the time being not supported any more:
 
-Coroutines and tasklets can be pickled and unpickled, i.e. serialized to
-a string of bytes for the purpose of storage or transmission.  This
-allows "live" coroutines or tasklets to be made persistent, moved to
-other machines, or cloned in any way.  The standard ``pickle`` module
-works with coroutines and tasklets (at least in a translated ``pypy-c``;
-unpickling live coroutines or tasklets cannot be easily implemented on
-top of CPython).
+* Tasklets and channels (currently ``stackless.py`` seems to import,
+  but you have tasklets on top of coroutines on top of greenlets on
+  top of continulets on top of stacklets, and it's probably not too
+  hard to cut two of these levels by adapting ``stackless.py`` to
+  use directly continulets)
 
-To be able to achieve this result, we have to consider many objects that
-are not normally pickleable in CPython.  Here again, the `Stackless
-Python`_ implementation has paved the way, and we follow the same
-general design decisions: simple internal objects like bound method
-objects and various kinds of iterators are supported; frame objects can
-be fully pickled and unpickled
-(by serializing a reference to the bytecode they are
-running in addition to all the local variables).  References to globals
-and modules are pickled by name, similarly to references to functions
-and classes in the traditional CPython ``pickle``.
+* Coroutines (could be rewritten at app-level)
 
-The "magic" part of this process is the implementation of the unpickling
-of a chain of frames.  The Python interpreter of PyPy uses
-interpreter-level recursion to represent application-level calls.  The
-reason for this is that it tremendously simplifies the implementation of
-the interpreter itself.  Indeed, in Python, almost any operation can
-potentially result in a non-tail-recursive call to another Python
-function.  This makes writing a non-recursive interpreter extremely
-tedious; instead, we rely on lower-level transformations during the
-translation process to control this recursion.  This is the `Stackless
-Transform`_, which is at the heart of PyPy's support for stackless-style
-concurrency.
+* Pickling and unpickling continulets (*)
 
-At any point in time, a chain of Python-level frames corresponds to a
-chain of interpreter-level frames (e.g. C frames in pypy-c), where each
-single Python-level frame corresponds to one or a few interpreter-level
-frames - depending on the length of the interpreter-level call chain
-from one bytecode evaluation loop to the next (recursively invoked) one.
+* Continuing execution of a continulet in a different thread (*)
 
-This means that it is not sufficient to simply create a chain of Python
-frame objects in the heap of a process before we can resume execution of
-these newly built frames.  We must recreate a corresponding chain of
-interpreter-level frames.  To this end, we have inserted a few *named
-resume points* (see 3.2.4, in `D07.1 Massive Parallelism and Translation Aspects`_) in the Python interpreter of PyPy.  This is the
-motivation for implementing the interpreter-level primitives
-``resume_state_create()`` and ``resume_state_invoke()``, the powerful
-interface that allows an RPython program to artificially rebuild a chain
-of calls in a reflective way, completely from scratch, and jump to it.
+* Automatic unlimited stack (must be emulated__ so far)
 
-.. _`D07.1 Massive Parallelism and Translation Aspects`: http://codespeak.net/pypy/extradoc/eu-report/D07.1_Massive_Parallelism_and_Translation_Aspects-2007-02-28.pdf
+* Support for other CPUs than x86 and x86-64
 
-Example
-~~~~~~~
+.. __: `recursion depth limit`_
 
-(See `demo/pickle_coroutine.py`_ for the complete source of this demo.)
+(*) Pickling, as well as changing threads, could be implemented by using
+a "soft" stack switching mode again.  We would get either "hard" or
+"soft" switches, similarly to Stackless Python 3rd version: you get a
+"hard" switch (like now) when the C stack contains non-trivial C frames
+to save, and a "soft" switch (like previously) when it contains only
+simple calls from Python to Python.  Soft-switched continulets would
+also consume a bit less RAM, and the switch might be a bit faster too
+(unsure about that; what is the Stackless Python experience?).
 
-Consider a program which contains a part performing a long-running
-computation::
 
-    def ackermann(x, y):
-        if x == 0:
-            return y + 1
-        if y == 0:
-            return ackermann(x - 1, 1)
-        return ackermann(x - 1, ackermann(x, y - 1))
+Recursion depth limit
++++++++++++++++++++++
 
-By using pickling, we can save the state of the computation while it is
-running, for the purpose of restoring it later and continuing the
-computation at another time or on a different machine.  However,
-pickling does not produce a whole-program dump: it can only pickle
-individual coroutines.  This means that the computation should be
-started in its own coroutine::
+You can use continulets to emulate the infinite recursion depth present
+in Stackless Python and in stackless-enabled older versions of PyPy.
 
-    # Make a coroutine that will run 'ackermann(3, 8)'
-    coro = coroutine()
-    coro.bind(ackermann, 3, 8)
+The trick is to start a continulet "early", i.e. when the recursion
+depth is very low, and switch to it "later", i.e. when the recursion
+depth is high.  Example::
 
-    # Now start running the coroutine
-    result = coro.switch()
+    from _continuation import continulet
 
-The coroutine itself must switch back to the main program when it needs
-to be interrupted (we can only pickle suspended coroutines).  Due to
-current limitations this requires an explicit check in the
-``ackermann()`` function::
+    def invoke(_, callable, arg):
+        return callable(arg)
 
-    def ackermann(x, y):
-        if interrupt_flag:      # test a global flag
-            main.switch()       # and switch back to 'main' if it is set
-        if x == 0:
-            return y + 1
-        if y == 0:
-            return ackermann(x - 1, 1)
-        return ackermann(x - 1, ackermann(x, y - 1))
+    def bootstrap(c):
+        # this loop runs forever, at a very low recursion depth
+        callable, arg = c.switch()
+        while True:
+            # start a new continulet from here, and switch to
+            # it using an "exchange", i.e. a switch with to=.
+            to = continulet(invoke, callable, arg)
+            callable, arg = c.switch(to=to)
 
-The global ``interrupt_flag`` would be set for example by a timeout, or
-by a signal handler reacting to Ctrl-C, etc.  It causes the coroutine to
-transfer control back to the main program.  The execution comes back
-just after the line ``coro.switch()``, where we can pickle the coroutine
-if necessary::
+    c = continulet(bootstrap)
+    c.switch()
 
-    if not coro.is_alive:
-        print "finished; the result is:", result
-    else:
-        # save the state of the suspended coroutine
-        f = open('demo.pickle', 'w')
-        pickle.dump(coro, f)
-        f.close()
 
-The process can then stop.  At any later time, or on another machine,
-we can reload the file and restart the coroutine with::
+    def recursive(n):
+        if n == 0:
+            return ("ok", n)
+        if n % 200 == 0:
+            prev = c.switch((recursive, n - 1))
+        else:
+            prev = recursive(n - 1)
+        return (prev[0], prev[1] + 1)
 
-    f = open('demo.pickle', 'r')
-    coro = pickle.load(f)
-    f.close()
-    result = coro.switch()
+    print recursive(999999)     # prints ('ok', 999999)
 
-Limitations
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+Note that if you press Ctrl-C while running this example, the traceback
+will be built with *all* recursive() calls so far, even if this is more
+than the number that can possibly fit in the C stack.  These frames are
+"overlapping" each other in the sense of the C stack; more precisely,
+they are copied out of and into the C stack as needed.
 
-Coroutine pickling is subject to some limitations.  First of all, it is
-not a whole-program "memory dump".  It means that only the "local" state
-of a coroutine is saved.  The local state is defined to include the
-chain of calls and the local variables, but not for example the value of
-any global variable.
+(The example above also makes use of the following general "guideline"
+to help newcomers write continulets: in ``bootstrap(c)``, only call
+methods on ``c``, not on another continulet object.  That's why we wrote
+``c.switch(to=to)`` and not ``to.switch()``, which would mess up the
+state.  This is however just a guideline; in general we would recommend
+to use other interfaces like genlets and greenlets.)
 
-As in normal Python, the pickle will not include any function object's
-code, any class definition, etc., but only references to functions and
-classes.  Unlike normal Python, the pickle contains frames.  A pickled
-frame stores a bytecode index, representing the current execution
-position.  This means that the user program cannot be modified *at all*
-between pickling and unpickling!
 
-On the other hand, the pickled data is fairly independent from the
-platform and from the PyPy version.
+Stacklets
++++++++++
 
-Pickling/unpickling fails if the coroutine is suspended in a state that
-involves Python frames which were *indirectly* called.  To define this
-more precisely, a Python function can issue a regular function or method
-call to invoke another Python function - this is a *direct* call and can
-be pickled and unpickled.  But there are many ways to invoke a Python
-function indirectly.  For example, most operators can invoke a special
-method ``__xyz__()`` on a class, various built-in functions can call
-back Python functions, signals can invoke signal handlers, and so on.
-These cases are not supported yet.
+Continulets are internally implemented using stacklets, which is the
+generic RPython-level building block for "one-shot continuations".  For
+more information about them please see the documentation in the C source
+at `pypy/translator/c/src/stacklet/stacklet.h`_.
 
+The module ``pypy.rlib.rstacklet`` is a thin wrapper around the above
+functions.  The key point is that new() and switch() always return a
+fresh stacklet handle (or an empty one), and switch() additionally
+consumes one.  It makes no sense to have code in which the returned
+handle is ignored, or used more than once.  Note that ``stacklet.c`` is
+written assuming that the user knows that, and so no additional checking
+occurs; this can easily lead to obscure crashes if you don't use a
+wrapper like PyPy's '_continuation' module.
 
-Composability

+
+Theory of composability
++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 Although the concept of coroutines is far from new, they have not been
 generally integrated into mainstream languages, or only in limited form
 (like generators in Python and iterators in C#).  We can argue that a
 possible reason for that is that they do not scale well when a program's
 complexity increases: they look attractive in small examples, but the
-models that require explicit switching, by naming the target coroutine,
-do not compose naturally.  This means that a program that uses
-coroutines for two unrelated purposes may run into conflicts caused by
-unexpected interactions.

 main coroutine, which confuses the ``generator_iterator.next()`` method
 (it gets resumed, but not as a result of a call to ``Yield()``).
 
-As part of trying to combine multiple different paradigms into a single
-application-level module, we have built a way to solve this problem.
-The idea is to avoid the notion of a single, global "main" coroutine (or
-a single main greenlet, or a single main tasklet).  Instead, each
-conceptually separated user of one of these concurrency interfaces can
-create its own "view" on what the main coroutine/greenlet/tasklet is,
-which other coroutine/greenlet/tasklets there are, and which of these is
-the currently running one.  Each "view" is orthogonal to the others.  In
-particular, each view has one (and exactly one) "current"
-coroutine/greenlet/tasklet at any point in time.  When the user switches
-to a coroutine/greenlet/tasklet, it implicitly means that he wants to
-switch away from the current coroutine/greenlet/tasklet *that belongs to
-the same view as the target*.
+Thus the notion of coroutine is *not composable*.  By opposition, the
+primitive notion of continulets is composable: if you build two
+different interfaces on top of it, or have a program that uses twice the
+same interface in two parts, then assuming that both parts independently
+work, the composition of the two parts still works.
 
-The precise application-level interface has not been fixed yet; so far,
-"views" in the above sense are objects of the type
-``stackless.usercostate``.  The above two examples can be rewritten in
-the following way::
+A full proof of that claim would require careful definitions, but let us
+just claim that this fact is true because of the following observation:
+the API of continulets is such that, when doing a ``switch()``, it
+requires the program to have some continulet to explicitly operate on.
+It shuffles the current continuation with the continuation stored in
+that continulet, but has no effect outside.  So if a part of a program
+has a continulet object, and does not expose it as a global, then the
+rest of the program cannot accidentally influence the continuation
+stored in that continulet object.
 
-    producer_view = stackless.usercostate()   # a local view
-    main_coro = producer_view.getcurrent()    # the main (outer) coroutine
-    ...
-    producer_coro = producer_view.newcoroutine()
-    ...
-
-and::
-
-    generators_view = stackless.usercostate()
-
-    def generator(f):
-        def wrappedfunc(*args, **kwds):
-            g = generators_view.newcoroutine(generator_iterator)
-            ...
-
-            ...generators_view.getcurrent()...
-
-Then the composition ``grab_values()`` works as expected, because the
-two views are independent.  The coroutine captured as ``self.caller`` in
-the ``generator_iterator.next()`` method is the main coroutine of the
-``generators_view``.  It is no longer the same object as the main
-coroutine of the ``producer_view``, so when ``data_producer()`` issues
-the following command::
-
-    main_coro.switch()
-
-the control flow cannot accidentally jump back to
-``generator_iterator.next()``.  In other words, from the point of view
-of ``producer_view``, the function ``grab_next_value()`` always runs in
-its main coroutine ``main_coro`` and the function ``data_producer`` in
-its coroutine ``producer_coro``.  This is the case independently of
-which ``generators_view``-based coroutine is the current one when
-``grab_next_value()`` is called.
-
-Only code that has explicit access to the ``producer_view`` or its
-coroutine objects can perform switches that are relevant for the
-generator code.  If the view object and the coroutine objects that share
-this view are all properly encapsulated inside the generator logic, no
-external code can accidentally temper with the expected control flow any
-longer.
-
-In conclusion: we will probably change the app-level interface of PyPy's
-stackless module in the future to not expose coroutines and greenlets at
-all, but only views.  They are not much more difficult to use, and they
-scale automatically to larger programs.
+In other words, if we regard the continulet object as being essentially
+a modifiable ``f_back``, then it is just a link between the frame of
+``callable()`` and the parent frame --- and it cannot be arbitrarily
+changed by unrelated code, as long as they don't explicitly manipulate
+the continulet object.  Typically, both the frame of ``callable()``
+(commonly a local function) and its parent frame (which is the frame
+that switched to it) belong to the same class or module; so from that
+point of view the continulet is a purely local link between two local
+frames.  It doesn't make sense to have a concept that allows this link
+to be manipulated from outside.

+Preping Windows for the Large Build
+-----------------------------------
+
+Normally 32bit programs are limited to 2GB of memory on Windows. It is
+possible to raise this limit, to 3GB on Windows 32bit, and almost 4GB
+on Windows 64bit.
+
+On Windows 32bit, it is necessary to modify the system: follow
+http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=9583842&linkID=9240617
+to enable the "3GB" feature, and reboot. This step is not necessary on
+Windows 64bit.
+
+Then you need to execute::
+
+    editbin /largeaddressaware pypy.exe
+

+"""Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue).
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+Usage:
+
+heap = []            # creates an empty heap
+heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
+item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap
+item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it
+heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time

+                               # new item; the heap size is unchanged
+
+Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
+
+- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
+  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
+  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
+
+- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
+
+These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
+without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
+maintains the heap invariant!

+__about__ = """Heap queues
+
+[explanation by Fran&#65533;ois Pinard]
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

+Gothenburg sprint report
+=========================
+
+In the past days, we have been busy hacking on PyPy at the Gothenburg sprint,
+the second of this 2011.  The sprint was hold at Laura's and Jacob's place,
+and here is a brief report of what happened.
+
+<INSERT PICTURE OF THE CAKE>
+
+In the first day we welcomed Mark Pearse, which was new to PyPy and at his
+first sprint.  Mark worked the whole sprint at the new SpecialisedTuple_
+branch, whose aim is to have a special implementation for small 2-items and
+3-items tuples of primitive types (e.g., ints or floats) to save memory.  Mark
+paired with Antonio for a couple of days, then he continued alone and did amazing
+job.  He even learned how to properly do Test Driven Development :-).
+
+.. _SpecialisedTuple: http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changesets/tip/branch%28%22SpecialisedTuples%22%29
+
+Antonio spent a couple of days investingating whether it is possible to use
+`application checkpoint` libraries such as BLCR_ and DMTCP_ to save the state of
+the PyPy interpreter between subsequent runs, thus saving also the
+JIT-compiled code to reduce the warmup time.  The conclusion is that these are
+interesting technologies, but more work would be needed (either on the PyPy
+side or on the checkpoint library side) before it can have a practical usage
+for PyPy users.
+
+.. _`application checkpoint`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_checkpointing
+.. _BLCR: http://ftg.lbl.gov/projects/CheckpointRestart/
+.. _DMTCP: http://dmtcp.sourceforge.net/
+
+Then, Antonio spent most of the sprint working on his ffistruct_ branch, whose
+aim is to provide a very JIT-friendly way to interact with C structures, and
+eventually implement ``ctypes.Structure`` on top of that.  The "cool part" of
+the branch is already done, and the JIT already can compile set/get of fields
+into a single fast assembly instruction, about 400 times faster than the
+corresponding ctypes code.  What is still left to do is to add a nicer syntax
+(which is easy) and to implement all the ctypes peculiarities (which is
+tedious, at best :-)).
+
+.. _ffistruct: http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changesets/tip/branch(%22ffistruct%22)
+
+As usual, Armin did tons of different stuff, including fixing a JIT bug,
+improving the performance of ``file.readlines()`` and working on the STM_
+branch (for Software Transactional Memory), which is now able to run RPython
+multithreaded programs using software transaction (as long as they don't fill
+up all the memory, because support for the GC is still missing :-)).  Finally,
+he worked on improving the Windows version of PyPy, and while doing so he
+discovered toghether with Anto a terrible bug which leaded to a continuous
+leak of stack space because the JIT called some functions using the wrong
+calling convention.
+
+.. _STM: http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changesets/tip/branch("stm")
+
+H&#229;kan, with some help from Armim, worked on the `jit-targets`_ branch, whose goal
+is to heavily refactor the way the traces are internally represented by the
+JIT, so that in the end we can produce (even :-)) better code than what we do
+nowadays.  More details in this mail_.
+
+.. _`jit-targets`: http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changesets/tip/branch("stm")
+.. _mail: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2011-November/008728.html
+
+
+Andrew Dalke worked on a way to integrate PyPy with FORTRAN libraries, and in
+particular the ones which are wrapped by Numpy and Scipy: in doing so, he
+wrote f2pypy_, which is similar to the existing ``f2py`` but instead of
+producing a CPython extension module it produces a pure python modules based
+on ``ctypes``.  More work is needed before it can be considered complete, but
+``f2pypy`` is already able to produce a wrapper for BLAS which passes most of
+the tests (although not all).
+
+.. _f2pypy: http://bitbucket.org/pypy/f2pypy
+
+Christian Tismer worked the whole sprint on the branch to make PyPy compatible
+with Windows 64 bit.  This needs a lot of work because a lot of PyPy is
+written under the assumption than assumption that the ``long`` type in C has
+the same bit size than ``void*``, which is not true on Win64.  Christian says
+that in the past Genova-Pegli sprint he completed 90% of the work, and in this
+sprint he did the other 90% of the work.  Obviously, what is left to complete
+the task is the third 90% :-).  More seriously, he estimated a total of 2-4
+person-weeks of work to finish it.
+
+But, all in all, the best part of the sprint has been the cake that Laura
+cooked to celebrate the "5x faster than CPython" achievement. Well, actually
+our speed_ page reports "only" 4.7x, but that's because in the meantime we
+switched from comparing against CPython 2.6 to comparing against CPython 2.7,
+which is slightly faster.  We are confident that we will reach the 5x goal
+again, and that will be the perfect excuse to eat another cake :-)
+
+.. _speed: http://speed.pypy.org/

+How to setup a buildslave for PyPy
+==================================
+
+First you will need to install the ``buildbot_buildslave`` package.
+pip install buildbot_buildslave
+
+The next step is to create a buildslave configuration file. Based on version
+0.7.12 of buildbot you need to execute the following command.
+
+buildbot create-slave  BASEDIR MASTERHOST:PORT SLAVENAME PASSWORD
+
+For PyPy the MASTERHOST currently is ``wyvern.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de``. The
+value for PORT is ``10407``.
+SLAVENAME and PASSWORD can be freely chosen. These values need to be added to
+the slaveinfo.py configuration file on the MASTERHOST, ask in the IRC channel
+(#pypy on freenode.net) for the settings to be added. BASEDIR is a path to a
+local directory that will be created to contain all the files will be used by
+the buildslave. 
+
+Finally you will need to update the buildmaster configuration found in
+bot2/pypybuildbot/master.py to associate the buildslave with one or more
+builders. Builders define what tasks should be executed on the buildslave. 
+The changeset of revision 2f982db47d5d is a good place to start
+(https://bitbucket.org/pypy/buildbot/changeset/2f982db47d5d). Once the changes
+are commited the buildmaster on MASTERHOST needs to be updated and restared to
+reflect the changes to the configuration.

Subject: [pypy-commit] pypy default: Add the requirement that W_XxxObject
 classes that are different
Message-ID: <20111112114429.122298292E@wyvern.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de>

Author: Armin Rigo <arigo at tunes.org>
Branch: 
Changeset: r49355:b0c70fdea6b5
Date: 2011-11-12 12:44 +0100
http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changeset/b0c70fdea6b5/

Log:	Add the requirement that W_XxxObject classes that are different
	implementations of the same app-level type should inherit from a
	common base class more precise than W_Object. This is actually
	easy, just by adding some empty W_AbstractXxxObject classes here and
	there.

	This property allows us to build the _interplevel_classes for-speed-
	only dictionary in a way that doesn't depend on dictionary order.
	Previously it would randomly pick a class if there are several ones,
	which might be (if you're unluckly) not the most commonly used one.

+Gothenburg sprint report
+=========================
+
+In the past days, we have been busy hacking on PyPy at the Gothenburg sprint,
+the second of this 2011.  The sprint was hold at Laura's and Jacob's place,
+and here is a brief report of what happened.
+
+<INSERT PICTURE OF THE CAKE>
+
+In the first day we welcomed Mark Pearse, which was new to PyPy and at his
+first sprint.  Mark worked the whole sprint at the new SpecialisedTuple_
+branch, whose aim is to have a special implementation for small 2-items and
+3-items tuples of primitive types (e.g., ints or floats) to save memory.  Mark
+paired with Antonio for a couple of days, then he continued alone and did amazing
+job.  He even learned how to properly do Test Driven Development :-).
+
+.. _SpecialisedTuple: http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changesets/tip/branch%28%22SpecialisedTuples%22%29
+
+Antonio spent a couple of days investingating whether it is possible to use
+`application checkpoint` libraries such as BLCR_ and DMTCP_ to save the state of
+the PyPy interpreter between subsequent runs, thus saving also the
+JIT-compiled code to reduce the warmup time.  The conclusion is that these are
+interesting technologies, but more work would be needed (either on the PyPy
+side or on the checkpoint library side) before it can have a practical usage
+for PyPy users.

+
+Then, Antonio spent most of the sprint working on his ffistruct_ branch, whose
+aim is to provide a very JIT-friendly way to interact with C structures, and
+eventually implement ``ctypes.Structure`` on top of that.  The "cool part" of
+the branch is already done, and the JIT already can compile set/get of fields
+into a single fast assembly instruction, about 400 times faster than the
+corresponding ctypes code.  What is still left to do is to add a nicer syntax
+(which is easy) and to implement all the ctypes peculiarities (which is
+tedious, at best :-)).

+
+As usual, Armin did tons of different stuff, including fixing a JIT bug,
+improving the performance of ``file.readlines()`` and working on the STM_
+branch (for Software Transactional Memory), which is now able to run RPython
+multithreaded programs using software transaction (as long as they don't fill
+up all the memory, because support for the GC is still missing :-)).  Finally,
+he worked on improving the Windows version of PyPy, and while doing so he
+discovered toghether with Anto a terrible bug which leaded to a continuous
+leak of stack space because the JIT called some functions using the wrong
+calling convention.
+
+.. _STM: http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changesets/tip/branch("stm")
+
+H&#229;kan, with some help from Armim, worked on the `jit-targets`_ branch, whose goal
+is to heavily refactor the way the traces are internally represented by the
+JIT, so that in the end we can produce (even :-)) better code than what we do
+nowadays.  More details in this mail_.

+
+
+Andrew Dalke worked on a way to integrate PyPy with FORTRAN libraries, and in
+particular the ones which are wrapped by Numpy and Scipy: in doing so, he
+wrote f2pypy_, which is similar to the existing ``f2py`` but instead of
+producing a CPython extension module it produces a pure python modules based
+on ``ctypes``.  More work is needed before it can be considered complete, but
+``f2pypy`` is already able to produce a wrapper for BLAS which passes most of
+the tests (although not all).
+
+.. _f2pypy: http://bitbucket.org/pypy/f2pypy
+
+Christian Tismer worked the whole sprint on the branch to make PyPy compatible
+with Windows 64 bit.  This needs a lot of work because a lot of PyPy is
+written under the assumption than assumption that the ``long`` type in C has
+the same bit size than ``void*``, which is not true on Win64.  Christian says
+that in the past Genova-Pegli sprint he completed 90% of the work, and in this
+sprint he did the other 90% of the work.  Obviously, what is left to complete
+the task is the third 90% :-).  More seriously, he estimated a total of 2-4
+person-weeks of work to finish it.
+
+But, all in all, the best part of the sprint has been the cake that Laura
+cooked to celebrate the "5x faster than CPython" achievement. Well, actually
+our speed_ page reports "only" 4.7x, but that's because in the meantime we
+switched from comparing against CPython 2.6 to comparing against CPython 2.7,
+which is slightly faster.  We are confident that we will reach the 5x goal
+again, and that will be the perfect excuse to eat another cake :-)

+"""Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue).
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+Usage:
+
+heap = []            # creates an empty heap
+heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
+item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap
+item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it
+heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time
+item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds
+                               # new item; the heap size is unchanged
+
+Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
+
+- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
+  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
+  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
+
+- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
+
+These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
+without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
+maintains the heap invariant!

+
+[explanation by Fran&#65533;ois Pinard]
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

+"""Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue).
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+Usage:
+
+heap = []            # creates an empty heap
+heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
+item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap
+item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it
+heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time
+item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds
+                               # new item; the heap size is unchanged
+
+Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
+
+- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
+  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
+  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
+
+- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
+
+These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
+without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
+maintains the heap invariant!

+
+[explanation by Fran&#65533;ois Pinard]
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

Log:	Tweaks. Unsure why but it seems that test_zll_random ends up with
	two differently-typed arrays at the same address --- it might be
	because of casts. The _subarray caching fails in this case, by
	confusing the types of the subarrays.

Subject: [pypy-commit] pypy jitdriver-setparam-all: Change set_param API.
 Now we run set_param(driver-or-None, 'name', value)
Message-ID: <20111118091640.ACF5582A9D@wyvern.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de>

Author: Maciej Fijalkowski <fijall at gmail.com>
Branch: jitdriver-setparam-all
Changeset: r49506:f121b8ac7363
Date: 2011-11-18 11:15 +0200
http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changeset/f121b8ac7363/

Log:	Change set_param API. Now we run set_param(driver-or-None, 'name',
	value) instead of driver.set_param(...). This makes it possible to
	pass None, which changes the param on all drivers.

	new_xxx resoperations, there is only one malloc_gc operation. Can
	also be used to do mallocs "in groups", when mallocing several small
	structures.

Log:	got continuelets ready for windows.

	There were two things where I stumbled quite a while.

	1) _compile_c_file was sloppy with the defined order of arguments,
	where masm had different behavior.

	2) it was needed to add external definitions, but it was not clear
	to me that this already works and nothing than an entry in
	export_symbols was needed.

 Numpy improvements
 ------------------
 
-This is more of a project-container than a single project. Possible ideas:
+The numpy is rapidly progressing in pypy, so feel free to come to IRC and
+ask for proposed topic. A not necesarilly up-to-date `list of topics`_
+is also available.
 
-* experiment with auto-vectorization using SSE or implement vectorization
-  without automatically detecting it for array operations.
-
-* improve numpy, for example implement memory views.
-
-* interface with fortran/C libraries.

-=====================
+==================================
+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 23/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20x** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
 
 Highlights
 ==========
 
-* numerous performance improvements, PyPy 1.7 is xxx faster than 1.6
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
 
-* numerous bugfixes, compatibility fixes
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
 
-* windows fixes
+* Windows fixes.
 
-* stackless and JIT integration
-  (stackless is now in the same executable, but any loop using
-  stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
-  performance improvement for now)
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
 
-* numpy progress - dtypes, numpy -> numpypy renaming
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
 
-* brand new, faster, JSON encoder
+    import numpypy as numpy
 
-* improved memory footprint on some RPython modules, such as hashlib
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
 
-* cpyext progress
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2x** in some cases. It's about **20x** faster than the one that
+  we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
 
 Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
 ==============================================
 
-* list strategies
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
 
-* multi-dimensional arrays for numpy
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
 
-* ARM backend
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
 
-* PPC backend
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
 
-Things we're working on with unclear ETA
-========================================
+Fundraising
+===========
 
-* windows 64 (?)
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.
 
-* Py3k
-
-* SSE for numpy
-
-* specialized objects
+.. _`numpy proposal`: http://pypy.org/numpydonate.html
+.. _`py3k proposal`: http://pypy.org/py3donate.html

+Win64:
+To decouple the cpython machine level long from the faked integer
+of the target rpython, I replaced most 'lltype.Signed' by 'rffi.LONG'.
+It would be nicer to replace all lltypes constants by rffi equivalents,
+or better if we had a way to address the specific different types of
+the current and the target system layout explicitly.
+Let's think of that when we go further and make the target completely
+independent and configurable.
+Why most and not all replaced?
+Tests with direct tests become cumbersome, instead of direct number
+assignment rffi.setintfield(s, 'x', 123) must be used.
+So in cases with number constants, where the size is not relevant,
+I kept lltype.signed .

+==================================
+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
 
 Highlights
 ==========
 
-* numerous performance improvements, PyPy 1.7 is xxx faster than 1.6
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
 
-* numerous bugfixes, compatibility fixes
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
 
-* windows fixes
+* Windows fixes.
 
-* stackless and JIT integration
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
 
-* numpy progress - dtypes, numpy -> numpypy renaming
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
 
-* brand new JSON encoder
+    import numpypy as numpy
 
-* improved memory footprint on heavy users of C APIs example - tornado
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
 
-* cpyext progress
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
 
 Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
 ==============================================
 
-* list strategies
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
 
-* multi-dimensional arrays for numpy
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
 
-* ARM backend
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
 
-* PPC backend
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
 
-Things we're working on with unclear ETA
-========================================
+Fundraising
+===========
 
-* windows 64 (?)
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.
 
-* Py3k
-
-* SSE for numpy
-
-* specialized objects

-is also available.
+This is more of a project-container than a single project. Possible ideas:
 
-.. _`list of topics`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/extradoc/src/extradoc/planning/micronumpy.txt
+* experiment with auto-vectorization using SSE or implement vectorization

+* improve numpy, for example implement memory views.
+
+* interface with fortran/C libraries.

+Win64:
+To decouple the cpython machine level long from the faked integer
+of the target rpython, I replaced most 'lltype.Signed' by 'rffi.LONG'.
+It would be nicer to replace all lltypes constants by rffi equivalents,
+or better if we had a way to address the specific different types of
+the current and the target system layout explicitly.
+Let's think of that when we go further and make the target completely
+independent and configurable.
+Why most and not all replaced?
+Tests with direct tests become cumbersome, instead of direct number
+assignment rffi.setintfield(s, 'x', 123) must be used.
+So in cases with number constants, where the size is not relevant,
+I kept lltype.signed .

+==================================
+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
+
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
+
+* Windows fixes.
+
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
+
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
+
+    import numpypy as numpy
+
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
+
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
+
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
+
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
+
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
+
+Fundraising
+===========
+
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.
+
+.. _`numpy proposal`: http://pypy.org/numpydonate.html
+.. _`py3k proposal`: http://pypy.org/py3donate.html

+Win64:
+To decouple the cpython machine level long from the faked integer
+of the target rpython, I replaced most 'lltype.Signed' by 'rffi.LONG'.
+It would be nicer to replace all lltypes constants by rffi equivalents,
+or better if we had a way to address the specific different types of
+the current and the target system layout explicitly.
+Let's think of that when we go further and make the target completely
+independent and configurable.
+Why most and not all replaced?
+Tests with direct tests become cumbersome, instead of direct number
+assignment rffi.setintfield(s, 'x', 123) must be used.

+==================================
+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
+
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
+
+* Windows fixes.
+
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
+
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
+
+    import numpypy as numpy
+
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
+
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
+
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
+
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
+
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
+
+Fundraising
+===========
+
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.

 Numpy improvements
 ------------------
 
-This is more of a project-container than a single project. Possible ideas:
+The numpy is rapidly progressing in pypy, so feel free to come to IRC and
+ask for proposed topic. A not necesarilly up-to-date `list of topics`_
+is also available.
 
-* experiment with auto-vectorization using SSE or implement vectorization
-  without automatically detecting it for array operations.
-
-* improve numpy, for example implement memory views.
-
-* interface with fortran/C libraries.

-Win64:
-To decouple the cpython machine level long from the faked integer
-of the target rpython, I replaced most 'lltype.Signed' by 'rffi.LONG'.
-It would be nicer to replace all lltypes constants by rffi equivalents,
-or better if we had a way to address the specific different types of
-the current and the target system layout explicitly.
-Let's think of that when we go further and make the target completely
-independent and configurable.
-Why most and not all replaced?
-Tests with direct tests become cumbersome, instead of direct number
-assignment rffi.setintfield(s, 'x', 123) must be used.
-So in cases with number constants, where the size is not relevant,
-I kept lltype.signed .

 Numpy improvements
 ------------------
 
-This is more of a project-container than a single project. Possible ideas:
+The numpy is rapidly progressing in pypy, so feel free to come to IRC and
+ask for proposed topic. A not necesarilly up-to-date `list of topics`_
+is also available.
 
-* experiment with auto-vectorization using SSE or implement vectorization
-  without automatically detecting it for array operations.
-
-* improve numpy, for example implement memory views.
-
-* interface with fortran/C libraries.

-Win64:
-To decouple the cpython machine level long from the faked integer
-of the target rpython, I replaced most 'lltype.Signed' by 'rffi.LONG'.
-It would be nicer to replace all lltypes constants by rffi equivalents,
-or better if we had a way to address the specific different types of
-the current and the target system layout explicitly.
-Let's think of that when we go further and make the target completely
-independent and configurable.
-Why most and not all replaced?
-Tests with direct tests become cumbersome, instead of direct number
-assignment rffi.setintfield(s, 'x', 123) must be used.

 Numpy improvements
 ------------------
 
-The numpy is rapidly progressing in pypy, so feel free to come to IRC and
-ask for proposed topic. A not necesarilly up-to-date `list of topics`_
-is also available.
+This is more of a project-container than a single project. Possible ideas:
 
-.. _`list of topics`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/extradoc/src/extradoc/planning/micronumpy.txt
+* experiment with auto-vectorization using SSE or implement vectorization
+  without automatically detecting it for array operations.
+
+* improve numpy, for example implement memory views.
+
+* interface with fortran/C libraries.

+Win64:
+To decouple the cpython machine level long from the faked integer
+of the target rpython, I replaced most 'lltype.Signed' by 'rffi.LONG'.
+It would be nicer to replace all lltypes constants by rffi equivalents,
+or better if we had a way to address the specific different types of
+the current and the target system layout explicitly.
+Let's think of that when we go further and make the target completely
+independent and configurable.
+Why most and not all replaced?
+Tests with direct tests become cumbersome, instead of direct number
+assignment rffi.setintfield(s, 'x', 123) must be used.
+So in cases with number constants, where the size is not relevant,
+I kept lltype.signed .

-This is more of a project-container than a single project. Possible ideas:
+The numpy is rapidly progressing in pypy, so feel free to come to IRC and
+ask for proposed topic. A not necesarilly up-to-date `list of topics`_
+is also available.
 
-* experiment with auto-vectorization using SSE or implement vectorization
-  without automatically detecting it for array operations.
-
-* improve numpy, for example implement memory views.
-
-* interface with fortran/C libraries.

+==================================
+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
+
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
+
+* Windows fixes.
+
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
+
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
+
+    import numpypy as numpy
+
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
+
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
+
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
+
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
+
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
+
+Fundraising
+===========
+
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.
+
+.. _`numpy proposal`: http://pypy.org/numpydonate.html
+.. _`py3k proposal`: http://pypy.org/py3donate.html

+==================================
+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
+
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
+
+* Windows fixes.
+
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
+
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
+
+    import numpypy as numpy
+
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
+
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
+
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
+
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
+
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
+
+Fundraising
+===========
+
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.

Log:	Added a bit to commondefs.h about the work in progress. A document
	about the migration should be added, too.

    In particular, Win64 is not supported because it has sizeof(long) == 4.
    To fix this, find and review all the places that cast a pointer to a long.
+
+   Update:
+   We are trying to lift this restriction for Win64:
+
+   Win64         int     long     long long     void*
+   --64-bit--    32      32         64          64
+
+   The migration to this platform is complicated and tedious, because
+   PyPy assumes that a void* fits into a long. Therefore, the created PyPy
+   will (first) have a 64 bit int type. The dependency of sys.maxint must
+   be removed in very many places, and the distinction between Python int
+   and long must be changed in explicit range checks.
+
+   This is work in progress with first successes.

+=====================
+PyPy 1.7
+=====================
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* numerous performance improvements, PyPy 1.7 is xxx faster than 1.6
+
+* numerous bugfixes, compatibility fixes
+
+* windows fixes
+
+* stackless and JIT integration
+  (stackless is now in the same executable, but any loop using
+  stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for now)
+
+* numpy progress - dtypes, numpy -> numpypy renaming
+
+* brand new JSON encoder
+
+* improved memory footprint on heavy users of C APIs example - tornado
+
+* cpyext progress
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+* list strategies
+
+* multi-dimensional arrays for numpy
+
+* ARM backend
+
+* PPC backend
+
+Things we're working on with unclear ETA
+========================================
+
+* windows 64 (?)
+
+* Py3k
+
+* SSE for numpy
+
+* specialized objects

+Object Identity of Primitive Values, ``is`` and ``id``
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Object identity of primitive values works by value equality, not by identity of
+the wrapper. This means that ``x + 1 is x + 1`` is always true, for arbitrary
+integers ``x``. The rule applies for the following types:
+
+ - ``int``
+
+ - ``float``
+
+ - ``long``
+
+ - ``complex``
+
+This change requires some changes to ``id`` as well. ``id`` fulfills the
+following condition: ``x is y <=> id(x) == id(y)``. Therefore ``id`` of the
+above types will return a value that is computed from the argument, and can
+thus be larger than ``sys.maxint`` (i.e. it can be an arbitrary long).

-  it is true that ``x is 0`` works, i.e. does the same as ``type(x) is
-  int and x == 0``, but it is so by accident.  If you do instead
-  ``x is 1000``, then it stops working, because 1000 is too large and

+==================================
+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
+
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
+
+* Windows fixes.
+
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
+
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
+
+    import numpypy as numpy
+
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
+
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
+
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
+
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
+
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
+
+Fundraising
+===========
+
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.

Log:	progress on test_zjit. Now test_slice is almost ready, barring few
	arraylen_gc that are from god knows where. A bit worrying it
	expanded test_multidim_slice which has tons and tons of operations
	that got included in the bridge. hopefully will be fixed by jit
	targets

+Object identity of primitive values works by value equality, not by identity of

+ - ``float``

+This change requires some changes to ``id`` as well. ``id`` fulfills the
+following condition: ``x is y <=> id(x) == id(y)``. Therefore ``id`` of the
+above types will return a value that is computed from the argument, and can
+thus be larger than ``sys.maxint`` (i.e. it can be an arbitrary long).

+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
 
 Highlights
 ==========
 
-* numerous performance improvements, PyPy 1.7 is xxx faster than 1.6
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
 
-* numerous bugfixes, compatibility fixes
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
 
-* windows fixes
+* Windows fixes.
 
-* stackless and JIT integration
-  (stackless is now in the same executable, but any loop using
-  stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
-  performance improvement for now)
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
 
-* numpy progress - dtypes, numpy -> numpypy renaming
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
 
-* brand new JSON encoder
+    import numpypy as numpy
 
-* improved memory footprint on heavy users of C APIs example - tornado
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
 
-* cpyext progress
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
 
 Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
 ==============================================
 
-* list strategies
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
 
-* multi-dimensional arrays for numpy
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
 
-* ARM backend
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
 
-* PPC backend
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
 
-Things we're working on with unclear ETA
-========================================
+Fundraising
+===========
 
-* windows 64 (?)
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.
 
-* Py3k
-
-* SSE for numpy
-
-* specialized objects

+thus be larger than ``sys.maxint`` (i.e. it can be an arbitrary long).

+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
 
 Highlights
 ==========
 
-* numerous performance improvements, PyPy 1.7 is xxx faster than 1.6
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
 
-* numerous bugfixes, compatibility fixes
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
 
-* windows fixes
+* Windows fixes.
 
-* stackless and JIT integration
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
 
-* numpy progress - dtypes, numpy -> numpypy renaming
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
 
-* brand new JSON encoder
+    import numpypy as numpy
 
-* improved memory footprint on heavy users of C APIs example - tornado
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
 
-* cpyext progress
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
 
 Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
 ==============================================
 
-* list strategies
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
 
-* multi-dimensional arrays for numpy
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
 
-* ARM backend
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
 
-* PPC backend
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
 
-Things we're working on with unclear ETA
-========================================
+Fundraising
+===========
 
-* windows 64 (?)
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.
 
-* Py3k
-
-* SSE for numpy
-
-* specialized objects

Subject: [pypy-commit] pypy jit-targets: Improve randomness: generates a
 LABEL that is not always the very first
Message-ID: <20111124174358.CD54382297@wyvern.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de>

Log:	Improve randomness: generates a LABEL that is not always the very
	first operation in the loop, but only when it we can safely move it
	down. It is nevertheless enough to trigger a bug in the x86 backend:
	run it with --random-seed 1260.

+Object Identity of Primitive Values, ``is`` and ``id``
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Object identity of primitive values works by value equality, not by identity of
+the wrapper. This means that ``x + 1 is x + 1`` is always true, for arbitrary
+integers ``x``. The rule applies for the following types:
+
+ - ``int``
+
+ - ``float``
+
+ - ``long``
+
+ - ``complex``
+
+This change requires some changes to ``id`` as well. ``id`` fulfills the
+following condition: ``x is y <=> id(x) == id(y)``. Therefore ``id`` of the
+above types will return a value that is computed from the argument, and can
+thus be larger than ``sys.maxint`` (i.e. it can be an arbitrary long).

   never a dictionary as it sometimes is in CPython. Assigning to
   ``__builtins__`` has no effect.
 
-* Do not compare immutable objects with ``is``.  For example on CPython
-  it is true that ``x is 0`` works, i.e. does the same as ``type(x) is
-  int and x == 0``, but it is so by accident.  If you do instead
-  ``x is 1000``, then it stops working, because 1000 is too large and
-  doesn't come from the internal cache.  In PyPy it fails to work in
-  both cases, because we have no need for a cache at all.
-
-* Also, object identity of immutable keys in dictionaries is not necessarily
-  preserved.

+# yield all elements. Views iterate over indices and look towards strides and
+# backstrides to find the correct position. Notably the offset between
+# x[..., i + 1] and x[..., i] will be strides[-1]. Offset between
+# x[..., k + 1, 0] and x[..., k, i_max] will be backstrides[-2] etc.
+
+# BroadcastIterator works like that, but for indexes that don't change source
+# in the original array, strides[i] == backstrides[i] == 0

+Object Identity of Primitive Values, ``is`` and ``id``
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Object identity of primitive values works by value equality, not by identity of
+the wrapper. This means that ``x + 1 is x + 1`` is always true, for arbitrary
+integers ``x``. The rule applies for the following types:
+
+ - ``int``
+
+ - ``float``
+
+ - ``long``
+
+ - ``complex``
+
+This change requires some changes to ``id`` as well. ``id`` fulfills the
+following condition: ``x is y <=> id(x) == id(y)``. Therefore ``id`` of the
+above types will return a value that is computed from the argument, and can
+thus be larger than ``sys.maxint`` (i.e. it can be an arbitrary long).

-* Do not compare immutable objects with ``is``.  For example on CPython
-  it is true that ``x is 0`` works, i.e. does the same as ``type(x) is
-  int and x == 0``, but it is so by accident.  If you do instead
-  ``x is 1000``, then it stops working, because 1000 is too large and
-  doesn't come from the internal cache.  In PyPy it fails to work in
-  both cases, because we have no need for a cache at all.

+# Iterators for arrays
+# --------------------
+# all those iterators with the exception of BroadcastIterator iterate over the
+# entire array in C order (the last index changes the fastest). This will
+# yield all elements. Views iterate over indices and look towards strides and
+# backstrides to find the correct position. Notably the offset between
+# x[..., i + 1] and x[..., i] will be strides[-1]. Offset between
+# x[..., k + 1, 0] and x[..., k, i_max] will be backstrides[-2] etc.
+
+# BroadcastIterator works like that, but for indexes that don't change source
+# in the original array, strides[i] == backstrides[i] == 0

+        #   transpose reverses everything.

+        #   to this dimension. Every time the products match, update the stride

Subject: [pypy-commit] pypy win64-stage1: changed all checks for (int,
	long) to is_valid_int.
Message-ID: <20111125011440.3640182297@wyvern.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de>

Author: Christian Tismer <tismer at stackless.com>
Branch: win64-stage1
Changeset: r49770:e7f4fc3d64b9
Date: 2011-11-25 02:13 +0100
http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changeset/e7f4fc3d64b9/

Log:	changed all checks for (int, long) to is_valid_int. I'm pretty sure
	that I made mistakes, we'll see ;-)

+"""Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue).
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+Usage:
+
+heap = []            # creates an empty heap
+heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
+item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap
+item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it
+heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time
+item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds
+                               # new item; the heap size is unchanged
+
+Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
+
+- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
+  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
+  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
+
+- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
+

+
+[explanation by Fran&#65533;ois Pinard]
+
+Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
+all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
+non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
+property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
+
+The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
+representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
+
+                                   0
+
+                  1                                 2
+
+          3               4                5               6
+
+      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14
+
+    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30
+
+
+In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
+an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
+over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
+to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
+of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
+To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
+replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
+that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
+but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
+
+If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
+the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
+find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
+diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
+the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
+This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
+By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
+
+A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
+items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
+not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
+especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
+incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
+time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
+scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
+heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
+used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
+
+Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
+studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
+the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
+than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
+are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
+
+Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
+know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
+sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
+followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
+very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
+sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
+to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
+replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
+produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
+and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
+
+Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
+may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
+the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
+heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
+for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
+same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
+vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
+effective!
+
+In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
+a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
+around. :-)
+
+--------------------
+[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
+more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
+capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
+tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
+clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
+most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
+"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
+backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
+Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
+From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

+Object identity of primitive values works by value equality, not by identity of

+following condition: ``x is y <=> id(x) == id(y)``. Therefore ``id`` of the
+above types will return a value that is computed from the argument, and can
+thus be larger than ``sys.maxint`` (i.e. it can be an arbitrary long).

+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
+
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
+
+* Windows fixes.
+
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
+
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
+
+    import numpypy as numpy
+
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
+
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
+
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
+
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
+
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
+
+Fundraising
+===========
+
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.

+# yield all elements. Views iterate over indices and look towards strides and
+# backstrides to find the correct position. Notably the offset between
+# x[..., i + 1] and x[..., i] will be strides[-1]. Offset between
+# x[..., k + 1, 0] and x[..., k, i_max] will be backstrides[-2] etc.
+
+# BroadcastIterator works like that, but for indexes that don't change source
+# in the original array, strides[i] == backstrides[i] == 0

+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
+
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
+
+* Windows fixes.
+
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
+
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
+
+    import numpypy as numpy
+
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
+
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
+
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
+
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
+
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
+
+Fundraising
+===========
+
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.

+# yield all elements. Views iterate over indices and look towards strides and
+# backstrides to find the correct position. Notably the offset between
+# x[..., i + 1] and x[..., i] will be strides[-1]. Offset between
+# x[..., k + 1, 0] and x[..., k, i_max] will be backstrides[-2] etc.
+
+# BroadcastIterator works like that, but for indexes that don't change source
+# in the original array, strides[i] == backstrides[i] == 0

Log:	Some corrections to ll2ctypes. Actually, they did not solve my
	problem: translator\c\test\test_newgc.py always fails, because some
	Signed assignment does not match Array of INT, and I still cannot
	track it down. But maybe the overall error count gets further down
	and helps locating this ;-)

+==================================
+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
+
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
+
+* Windows fixes.
+
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
+
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
+
+    import numpypy as numpy
+
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
+
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
+
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
+
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
+
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
+
+Fundraising
+===========
+
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.

 arange does not work for floats because they'll get automatically marked as ints
 it also does not test that it works correctly with floats (it does not)
 
+arange(True) should return an array of ints, not bools
+
 the flatiter should raise OperationError if object is not of BaseArray type
 
 there are no tests for creation of numpy.flatiter

Log:	got continuelets ready for windows.

	There were two things where I stumbled quite a while.

	1) _compile_c_file was sloppy with the defined order of arguments,
	where masm had different behavior.

	2) it was needed to add external definitions, but it was not clear
	to me that this already works and nothing than an entry in
	export_symbols was needed. (transplanted from

+==================================
+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
+
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
+
+* Windows fixes.
+
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
+
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
+
+    import numpypy as numpy
+
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
+
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
+
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
+
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
+
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
+
+Fundraising
+===========
+
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with

+# Iterators for arrays

+# all those iterators with the exception of BroadcastIterator iterate over the
+# entire array in C order (the last index changes the fastest). This will
+# yield all elements. Views iterate over indices and look towards strides and
+# backstrides to find the correct position. Notably the offset between
+# x[..., i + 1] and x[..., i] will be strides[-1]. Offset between
+# x[..., k + 1, 0] and x[..., k, i_max] will be backstrides[-2] etc.
+
+# BroadcastIterator works like that, but for indexes that don't change source
+# in the original array, strides[i] == backstrides[i] == 0

Subject: [pypy-commit] [OPEN] Pull request #14 for pypy/pypy: py3k fixes -
 sys.hash_info, more stringobject tests, fixes for stringobject
In-Reply-To: <pullreq-de954d9fe3cd@bitbucket.org>
References: <pullreq-de954d9fe3cd@bitbucket.org>
Message-ID: <20111128144134.8342.72279@bitbucket05.managed.contegix.com>

Pull request #14 has been updated by chronitis to include new changes.

https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/pull-request/14/py3k-fixes-syshash_info-more-stringobject

Title: py3k fixes - sys.hash_info, more stringobject tests, fixes for stringobject

Creator: chronitis

Update stringobject, strjoin, strbuf, strslice stdobjspace tests with bytestrings, where appropriate, and add a couple extra corner cases.
Fix stringobject, strjoin, strbuf, strslice so they pass these tests (and can be annotated).

Updated list of changes:

+Object Identity of Primitive Values, ``is`` and ``id``
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Object identity of primitive values works by value equality, not by identity of
+the wrapper. This means that ``x + 1 is x + 1`` is always true, for arbitrary
+integers ``x``. The rule applies for the following types:
+
+ - ``int``
+
+ - ``float``
+
+ - ``long``
+
+ - ``complex``
+
+This change requires some changes to ``id`` as well. ``id`` fulfills the
+following condition: ``x is y <=> id(x) == id(y)``. Therefore ``id`` of the
+above types will return a value that is computed from the argument, and can
+thus be larger than ``sys.maxint`` (i.e. it can be an arbitrary long).

   never a dictionary as it sometimes is in CPython. Assigning to

-* Do not compare immutable objects with ``is``.  For example on CPython
-  it is true that ``x is 0`` works, i.e. does the same as ``type(x) is
-  int and x == 0``, but it is so by accident.  If you do instead
-  ``x is 1000``, then it stops working, because 1000 is too large and
-  doesn't come from the internal cache.  In PyPy it fails to work in
-  both cases, because we have no need for a cache at all.

-* Also, object identity of immutable keys in dictionaries is not necessarily
-  preserved.

+==================================
+PyPy 1.7 - widening the sweet spot
+==================================
+
+We're pleased to announce the 1.7 release of PyPy. As became a habit, this
+release brings a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements over the 1.6
+release. However, unlike the previous releases, the focus has been on widening
+the "sweet spot" of PyPy. That is, classes of Python code that PyPy can greatly
+speed up should be vastly improved with this release. You can download the 1.7
+release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 32/64 or
+Windows 32. Windows 64 work is ongoing, but not yet natively supported.
+
+The main topic of this release is widening the range of code which PyPy
+can greatly speed up. On average on
+our benchmark suite, PyPy 1.7 is around **30%** faster than PyPy 1.6 and up
+to **20 times** faster on some benchmarks.
+
+.. _`pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1`: http://speed.pypy.org
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* Numerous performance improvements. There are too many examples which python
+  constructs now should behave faster to list them.
+
+* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
+
+* Windows fixes.
+
+* PyPy now comes with stackless features enabled by default. However,
+  any loop using stackless features will interrupt the JIT for now, so no real
+  performance improvement for stackless-based programs. Contact pypy-dev for
+  info how to help on removing this restriction.
+
+* NumPy effort in PyPy was renamed numpypy. In order to try using it, simply
+  write::
+
+    import numpypy as numpy
+
+  at the beginning of your program. There is a huge progress on numpy in PyPy
+  since 1.6, the main feature being implementation of dtypes.
+
+* JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one
+  is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython's C extension
+  up to **2 times** in some cases. It's about **20 times** faster than
+  the one that we had in 1.6.
+
+* The memory footprint of some of our RPython modules has been drastically
+  improved. This should impact any applications using for example cryptography,
+  like tornado.
+
+* There was some progress in exposing even more CPython C API via cpyext.
+
+Things that didn't make it, expect in 1.8 soon
+==============================================
+
+There is an ongoing work, which while didn't make it to the release, is
+probably worth mentioning here. This is what you should probably expect in
+1.8 some time soon:
+
+* Specialized list implementation. There is a branch that implements lists of
+  integers/floats/strings as compactly as array.array. This should drastically
+  improve performance/memory impact of some applications
+
+* NumPy effort is progressing forward, with multi-dimensional arrays coming
+  soon.
+
+* There are two brand new JIT assembler backends, notably for the PowerPC and
+  ARM processors.
+
+Fundraising
+===========
+
+It's maybe worth mentioning that we're running fundraising campaigns for
+NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any
+of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to `numpy proposal`_ or
+`py3k proposal`_. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with
+the general direction, you can always donate to the `general pot`_.

+# x[..., k + 1, 0] and x[..., k, i_max] will be backstrides[-2] etc.

+Object Identity of Primitive Values, ``is`` and ``id``
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Object identity of primitive values works by value equality, not by identity of
+the wrapper. This means that ``x + 1 is x + 1`` is always true, for arbitrary
+integers ``x``. The rule applies for the following types:
+
+ - ``int``
+
+ - ``float``
+
+ - ``long``
+
+ - ``complex``
+
+This change requires some changes to ``id`` as well. ``id`` fulfills the
+following condition: ``x is y <=> id(x) == id(y)``. Therefore ``id`` of the
+above types will return a value that is computed from the argument, and can
+thus be larger than ``sys.maxint`` (i.e. it can be an arbitrary long).

   never a dictionary as it sometimes is in CPython. Assigning to
   ``__builtins__`` has no effect.
 
-* Do not compare immutable objects with ``is``.  For example on CPython
-  it is true that ``x is 0`` works, i.e. does the same as ``type(x) is
-  int and x == 0``, but it is so by accident.  If you do instead
-  ``x is 1000``, then it stops working, because 1000 is too large and
-  doesn't come from the internal cache.  In PyPy it fails to work in
-  both cases, because we have no need for a cache at all.
-
-* Also, object identity of immutable keys in dictionaries is not necessarily
-  preserved.

   never a dictionary as it sometimes is in CPython. Assigning to
   ``__builtins__`` has no effect.
 
+* directly calling the internal magic methods of a few built-in types
+  with invalid arguments may have a slightly different result.  For
+  example, ``[].__add__(None)`` and ``(2).__add__(None)`` both return
+  ``NotImplemented`` on PyPy; on CPython, only the later does, and the
+  former raises ``TypeError``.  (Of course, ``[]+None`` and ``2+None``
+  both raise ``TypeError`` everywhere.)  This difference is an
+  implementation detail that shows up because of internal C-level slots
+  that PyPy does not have.
