[pypy-dev] array performace?

[Hakan Ardo]

Hi,
I've got a simple implementation of array now, wrapping lltype.malloc
with no error checking yet (cStringIO was great help, thx). How can I
test this with the jit? Do I need to translate the entire pypy or is
there a quicker way?

Do I need to guard the lltype.malloc call with such hints? What is the syntax?
