Changes:
- Add external cffi ports (a la python):
- databases/pypy-gdbm
- databases/pypy-sqlite3
- x11-toolkits/pypy-tkinter
- Add bsd.pypy.mk for consistency between pypy ports.
- Add bsd.pypy.cffi.mk for consistency with external cffi ports.
- Switch back to using $PREFIX/pypy-X.Y (the '-' separator is required to
differentiate between lang/pypy and lang/pypy3)
- Remove all patches (upstreamed, see announcement below)
ChangeLog:
- Bug Fixes
- Revive non-SSE2 support
- Fixes for detaching _io.Buffer*
- Clear up contention in the garbage collector between trace-me-later and
pinning
- Issues reported with our previous release were resolved after reports from
users on our issue tracker at https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues or on
IRC at #pypy.
- New features:
- cffi was updated to version 1.3
- The python stdlib was updated to 2.7.10 from 2.7.9
- vmprof now supports multiple threads
- The translation process builds cffi import libraries for some stdlib
packages, which should prevent confusion when package.py is not used
- better support for gdb debugging
- FreeBSD should be able to translate PyPy "out of the box" with no patches
- Numpy:
- Better support for record dtypes, including the align keyword
- Implement casting and create output arrays accordingly (still missing some
corner cases)
- Support creation of unicode ndarrays
- Better support ndarray.flags
- Support axis argument in more functions
- Refactor array indexing to support ellipses
- Allow the docstrings of built-in numpy objects to be set at run-time
- Support the buffered nditer creation keyword
- Performance improvements:
- Delay recursive calls to make them non-recursive
- Skip loop unrolling if it compiles too much code
- Tweak the heapcache
- Add a list strategy for lists that store both floats and 32-bit integers.
The latter are encoded as nonstandard NaNs. Benchmarks show that the speed
of such lists is now very close to the speed of purely-int or purely-float
lists.
- Simplify implementation of ffi.gc() to avoid most weakrefs
- Massively improve the performance of map() with more than one sequence
argument
