I'm happy that ARM followed through with the alternate set of patches. Regardless, however, unless those who had wished to object still wish to object, and then actually do so, we now clearly have a good collection of contributors actively desiring to do code review, and we should move forward (i.e., start committing patches once they're judged ready). Let's start by closing the three flying revisions, so that people that weren't involved in the discussion don't waste time looking at them. BQ_END See the reply I just posted to Hal. I am not sure we've made a decision to abandon the current patches. We may in fact decide that, but I haven't seen consensus for doing so yet. In fact I've seen the opposite -- that people want to move forward with the scalable types. BQ_END I agree with David. We should move forward with native support for scalable types. -Hal BQ_END +1 NEC SX-Aurora will also be using scalable types when they become available. -Simon BQ_BEGIN BQ_END BQ_BEGIN BQ_BEGIN -David BQ_END BQ_END -- Simon Moll Researcher / PhD Student Compiler Design Lab (Prof. Hack) Saarland University, Computer Science Building E1.3, Room 4.31 Tel. +49 (0)681 302-57521 : [ mailto:moll at cs.uni-saarland.de | moll at cs.uni-saarland.de ] Fax. +49 (0)681 302-3065 : [ http://compilers.cs.uni-saarland.de/people/moll | http://compilers.cs.uni-saarland.de/people/moll ] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
