There are others working on that problem.
I probably shouldn't have mentioned it; if I hadn't, you wouldn't have thought about it, and then nobody would have had their hopes dashed.
- Aissen 11y agoEnglish isn't my first language, so when I read "reproducible" I thought "deterministic"; I also didn't think you'd be working on the "vendoring" problem since I thought it was a solved issue (which it isn't for all the reasons in the post). Anyways, thanks for your work.
- davecheney 11y agoI think the compilers that produce elf output are almost deterministic, at least when producing a fully static binary (no CGO). I don't think that holds for mach-o or PE binaries, but I'm really speaking off the cuff here, as I said, others care about this and are working on it separately.
- ComputerGuru 11y agoHowever, English is my first language, and I thought exactly the same.
- silon3 11y agoDoes JIT (or late/deploy time optimize/link) help here? Would it be easier to make deterministic builds when optimizer is not involved?
- davecheney 11y agoNope, this is about the source that goes into the compiler.
