GNU Toolchain Update – Fall 2017
- davemp 9y agoI didn’t even know about __builtin_clz(0) being undefined and I use it regularly (for code challenge BS mostly). That’s really painful. It looks like it’s something to do with log(0) being undefined and hardware vendors just couldn’t agree on wether to set a flag or just count the number of leading zeros.
- fizixer 9y agoComing from redhat and they aren't advocating calling GNU/linux by a new name systemd/linux. What a nice surprise. Or maybe they still working on it.
- lima 9y agoRed Hat is doing a great job keeping RHEL/CentOS 7 up to date with latest technologies while not introducing regressions. Very welcome, they used to be more conservative. The Software Collections are particularly useful - you can use them to install, for example, Python 3.6 or GCC 7 without introducing third party repositories (and thus additional attack surface). https://www.softwarecollections.org https://www.softwarecollections.org 7.4 even had a OpenSSL rebase for HTTP/2 and it was painless. Hats off (heh) to their QA department!
