[pypy-dev] Custom scanning methods?

[Antonio Cuni]

Hi Timothy,
I'm surely not an expert of this area and others can probably explain
better how it works, but I think that you are looking for
`rgc.register_custom_trace_hook`; for an example of usage, see e.g.
pypy/module/micronumpy/concrete.py

ciao,
Anto
