Tab autocompletion looks to be affected too, at least on my system. Create a branch called 'complete_$(./foo)'. Then type 'git checkout comp<TAB>'. This gets autocompleted to git checkout complete_$(.

The question asks about IA-64 (Itanium) and IA-32. You're talking about the RAX register which is x86-64. If you call malloc without a prototype in scope, bad things can happen. Just because it happens to work out OK with the platfor

Is the disk controller using an FPGA because that's what Carl was most familiar with or is there a technical reason? Does data come in too fast for the PRU to keep up or are the timing requirements too stringent?

You may sometimes be able to work around this by using `expect` which creates a pseudoterminal attached to the program's stdout instead of a pipe. For example, say the program you want to run is `ls --color=auto`. This produces color
