This is a todo list that lists various areas of PyPy that should be cleaned up (for whatever reason: less mess, less code duplication, etc).
- low level backends should share more code
- all backends should have more consistent interfaces
- geninterp is a hack
- keepalives need to die, finally
- change weakrefs to work together with the GC
- delegate finding type stuff like vtables etc to GC
- clean up the tangle of how the various mallocs are implemented and responsability distributed acrosss headers, policies, backends, and the gctransfomers, which varies depending on the GC :(, exploit better the removal of zeroing assumption
- clean up the tangle of including headers in the C backend
- make approach for loading modules more sane, mixedmodule capture too many platform dependecies especially for pypy-cli
- review pdbplus, especially the graph commands, also in the light of https://codespeak.net/issue/pypy-dev/issue303 and the fact that we can have more than one translator/annotator around (with the timeshifter)
- review the things implemented at applevel whether they are performance- critical
