Oof that is a sucky bug and I hope the person who made it doesn’t feel too bad, or get shit on by people.
It seems like a super easy oversight to make, and if it’s always been there you won’t see a regression in your tests as existing baseline by definition couldn’t exercise the feature.
- djmips 4y agoI don't blame them but it shouldn't be an easy oversight to make. Profiling should be mandatory. And good profiling tools should exist. We are all flying blind when we code without profiling.
- olliej 4y agoThat's my point - you need to have tests to profile. I would guess that they had correctness tests. A profile of the tests is only helpful if you know what should or should not be there. I've always been of the impression that intel is a company that outsources writing drivers, which would easily lead to devs who are reading documented interface but not actually involved in the hardware design.
