Ambiguity in !tbaa metadata?
...0} ``` I've erased the actual string names to make the ambiguity more obvious. Here !2 and !7 are both struct tag nodes. This means that !5 and !9 are both scalar type nodes and !3 and !8 are struct type nodes[1]. However, once we get to the first field of !3, !4 at offset 0, things become murkier. !4 could either be a read-write scalar node with a !5 as a parent, or be a struct type node containing !5 at offset 0. I don't see a way to tell the two possibilities apart. The ambiguity shown above is "fine" since (I think, but I'm not sure) that containing an object at offs...

I fled what I could to FreeBSD, but in that process systemd was just the last drop that confirmed that my earlier decision to abandon Linux to the extent I can was right. Whatever has to...

[OT] Is data copyrightable?
Dear all, This is a little bit off-topic, but I was wondering if anyone has any informed opinion on whether data (ie. a dataset) is copyrightable? Hadley

[PATCH 00/16] virtio-net: split virtio-net.c
...e rq stats can be accessed by ethtool. A bunch of stuff seems to be in headers just because of technicalities. virtio common seems to be a dumping ground with no guiding principle at all. drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_virtio.c is weird with virt repeated three times in the path. These things only get murkier with time, at the point of reorg I would expect very logical placement, since without clear guiding rule finding where something is becomes harder but more importantly we'll now get endless heartburn about where does each new function go. The reorg is unfortunately not free - for example git...

OT: systemd Poll
According to "Arthur Schopenhauer": "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." I must admit that I skipped through the first and second stages - I never found creating init scripts a joy and instead opted to write my own scripts that I launched via inittab. As

Rotates, once again
...n regular shifts to work on bit rotate expressions as well. Adding a new primitive would mean that a whole bunch of optimization passes would need to know how to deal with it (or else they might lose on optimization opportunities). Variable-distance rotates ========================= Things become murkier when we consider not just rotates by a compile-time constant, but also rotates where the amount is determined at run time. For one thing, it's not immediately obvious how to write a well-defined corresponding C expression: the most "natural" version (for a 32-bit left rotate) is (...

Copyright issues question
Hi to the Devel list, I am at present developping a little Excel add-in that would consist into a translation of John Fox RCommander package. The idea is to have R code that recreates within Excel the menus and some VBA part that handles data input and outputs (those beeing redirected to HTML and imported within Excel in a user-transparent way). Actualy, a first beyta version of this add-in

Pupppet Ruby DSL
I constantly get told I should just create a DSL in Ruby, instead of having a separate, custom language. This has, unsurprisingly, come up multiple times here at OSCON. So, I decided I''d see if I could hack something up and see how it looked. This is the first thing I could come up with in terms of the basic functionality: #!/usr/bin/ruby class Base file "/etc/passwd",
