[pypy-dev] translation error on jit.unroll_safe with jit_libffi

[Carl Friedrich Bolz]

Hi Armin, 

OK, that's a very nice statement for people that know the internals of the annotator, but for not really helpful for people like me who don't ;-). What does that mean on the language level? How do you 'ask the bookkeeper for a desc'? Maybe we can document that somewhere, or improve the error message. 

Cheers, 
Carl Friedrich
