Note that the ZFS choice will break tools that check for sparseness and assume it's a binary file. Off the top of my head, the most famous breakage was GNU grep ... 2.14?

Does a thief have the right to demand nobody re-steals what was stolen in the first place? If we accept the existence of intellectual property in the first place, all AI is blatant and unmitigated theft. If we do not accept it, Llama has no

That is how `getaddrinfo` works under GLIBC; it's called NSS. The problem (well, one of them) is the non-GLIBC implementations that say "we don't need no stinkin' loader!"

Hm, looking to see if the vendor field is actually meaningful ... I see some stuff for m68k and mips and sysv targets ... some of it working around pre-standard vendor C implementations Ah, I found a modern one: i[3456789]86-w64-mingw*

Thankfully modern source control doesn't reuse user-supplied filenames for its internals. In the dark ages, I destroyed more than one checkout using commands of the form: find -name '*somepattern*' -exec clobbering comman

The whole point of section names is that they mean something. If you give it a name that matches `.rodata.*` it will be part of the existing read-only LOADed segments, or `.data.*` for (private) read-write. Use `ld --verbose` to see what se

by o11c 2y ago
Right, but you can just use the section start/end symbols for a section that already goes into a mapped segment.

Having tried writing plugins for both, I very much prefer GCC's codebase. You have to adapt to its quirks, but at least it won't pull the rug from under your feet gratuitously. There's a reason every major project ends up emb

Historically, when DNS breaks in a not-glibc environment, it's very often found to in fact be a violation of some standard by the not-glibc, rather than a program that fails to document a glibc dependency.

Old versions of GCC used to provide `-b <machine>` (and also `-V <version>`), but they were removed a long time ago in favor of expecting people to just use and set `CC` correctly. It looks like gcc 3.3 through 4.5 just forwards

"gnu tuple" and "gnu type" are also common names. The comments in `config.guess` and `config.sub`, which are the origin of triples, use a large variety of terms, at least the following: configuration name configura

I wouldn't call them "same concept" at all. Segments (program headers) are all about the runtime (executables and shared libraries) and are low-cost. Sections are all about development (.o files) and are detailed. Generally t

LLVM didn't invent the scheme; why should we pay attention to their copy and not look at the original? The GNU Config project is the original.

by o11c 2y ago
The GNU scheme does in fact have support for various windows targets. It's just that the GNU compilers don't support them all.

There are up to 7 components in a triple, but not all are used at once, the general format is: <machine>-<vendor>-<kernel>-<libc?><abi?><fabi?> But there's also <obj>, see below. Note th

I recommend against global -Werror, instead use -Werror= with each individual option to make it much easier to deal with compiler upgrades that change warnings. For well-maintained code, -Werror=all is expected, but switching to it is not t

In case anyone needs to do the sort of "fix up scattered declarations and move them to headers", you really want to use: gcc -Werror=missing-declarations -Werror=redundant-decls (last I checked, Clang's implementatio

For the purpose of blurring, there's nothing wrong with linear RGB. HSL has the angle discontinuity which is really annoying to deal with and sometimes even impossible to work around. CIELAB should be fine in theory, but it's not

It's really not. The multi-chunk arena it describes at the end of the article is exactly the same structure as GNU obstack, except that obstack also bothers to implement the free-to-mark operation. It's trivial to provide the oper

I mean, nobody should be surprised since Reddit drove away almost all of their moderators and power users in mid-2023 by banning clients that actually functioned. Reddit chose to kill itself; a maggot-ridden corpse is the expected find.

You shouldn't spend your own effort; you should make it clear that you're open to users of such systems contributing. That's how GCC became so dominant - there were people already using all sorts of Unixen and they wanted a

You can already do this. Just register the binfmt-misc with the `C` flag; binfmt-misc takes priority over builtin binfmts. Make sure your interpreter is very carefully written!

I was really confused by the mention of 68k at first since MacOS 8.6 dropped support for that, but following the link it looks like it supports System 7 as well. Cross-compiling would be faster (than emulation or too-old hardware), but I

Is there any reason to ask this? GCC plugins have been good since 4.8. 4.5 lacked some essential features; 4.6 would be fine if not for the annoyance of trying to support a plugin that works across the C++ transition. Of course, you can jus
