We analyze firmware and binaries, amongst other things at my day job.
Reconstructing dependency graphs is a necessary part of our day to day.
Assuming dependency graphs cant have cycles has shot us in the foot. There are absolutely real circular dependencies in assets in the wild.
- LarsDu88 2y agoOriginal author here... wait, what? I believe pip (or at least older versions of pip) makes it possible to have cycles. Are you analyzing dep graphs made with older versions of pip?
- stairlane 2y agoNot pip, but we ran into an older version of glibc that had real circular deps. Sorry I don’t remember off the top of my head which one.
