It's not a matter of running a code analyzer. If the thing slows down dramatically on the engineers' testing boxes their managers won't let that slip....

[sinepgib]

Yes. I'm talking in past here. I thought it was ongoing effort, which the link usefully contradicted ...

Don't confuse a question with a judgement about the quality of LLVM
I'm pretty aware it's production ready and prefer it wherever I can. But...

Is this true? I thought compiling the kernel with LLVM was still an ongoing effort....

[sinepgib]

I find that unlikely. But even if it happens, it will absolutely be noticed before release. There's simply no chance nobody running release candidates...

Then Valve will make the sensible choice of not setting this by default on its builds. An option existing in mainline doesn't mean all of downstream needs...

You can always disable the split lock detection in those cases....

My guess is it's just what they test it with. If the code doesn't rely on arch specific stuff and is endian correct (optionally really, most archs are...

I'd very much wish their approach at deprecating scp weren't making it an alias for sftp. If you want to drop a command, just drop it, don't make it incompatible...

Something I'd love to see is a C stdlib that builds on top of IO_uring. Just for the heck of it, it would allow for a whole system with nearly no system...

I envy that of Spain. In Argentina we're pretty much married to Microsoft. What's funnier is that many of those are pirated (yes, seriously, the same...

So who gets to pick which features are valid to implement? That's more of a social and governance problem than a technical one.
Linux got where...

What kind of driver? What could you possibly do to achieve lock-in that requires no more and no less* coupling than dynamic linking or access to D-BUS...

[sinepgib]

And you just pretty much nailed the implicit here: usable, for who. Usable, for devs. Not enough apparently tho, as it never really took of beyond rounding...

Considering all the previous conversation with Ladis, I'm not so sure it was a joke. They didn't seem to understand free software is about freedom and...
