and now LVM11

I can not remember better organized Zero day open source support for gamming GPU... Is there anyone that can such think remember?

This is looking very good indeed! They started way back in June this time.

(Though to be fair Intel are very early usually, but they don't have as big changes it feels like... )

I wonder if llvm will have proper noalias support.

I wonder if llvm will have proper noalias support.

Probably not, LLVM has enough problems with aliasing already and there are probably deeper underlying problems. See e.g. https://lists.isocpp.org/std-discuss...20/10/0882.php .

While too late for FreeBSD 12.2 or OpenBSD 6.8 looking for LLVM 11 in FreeBSD 13.0 and OpenBSD 6.9 next year!
