...nction-inlining issue: [1. this function *always* executes statement S, F(a) { If (a == a) S; } but in llvm if you inline it and “a” happens to be “undef” then nothing can be said about whether statement S is executed. This is indefensible.] My belief is this: that llvm exists for a utilitarian purpose, and that llvm currently violates that utilitarian goal by violating the users expectations in the function-inlining example. So the question is, where do you stand ? Peter Lawrence. > On Jun 19, 2017, at 9:35 AM, Sanjoy Das <sanjoy at playingwithpointers.com> wrote: > &...

What was intuitive 15-20 years ago may not be intuitive now, but that should probably not be a justificatio...

Is there a digium twitter 'user' to follow that only tweets important announcements and release information? If there is not, I think there should be. It would be highly utilitarian to get an SMS when there is an update to Asterisk, Dahdi, ADA etc, but I don't want to be bothered real-time with asteriskpbx tweets like: "Anyone trying anything cool with Asterisk over the weekend?". There's nothing wrong with tweets like that, but that kind of 'incidenta...

Trying to capture a notion of overall compiler optimization in a representative set of benchmarks is a hard problem. If you're interested in performance, it's best to measure it on the applications you're interested in. You should be suspicious of any one-dimensional analysis of compiler optimization, especially if it's presented by someone with an interest in a particular

Are there any papers in the works which benchmark some specification suite of C programs on GCC, LLVM-GCC, and CLANG? The only stuff I have seen so far are some bar charts in a few LLVM presentations, would be nice to have something a little more comprehensive.

New to asterisk so please be gentle. I'm guessing I'm among a number of recent additions to the list after the article in Linux Mag. I gotta say I'm *very* intersted in the project and will be doing lots of reading shortly. A couble quick questions first... How suitable is Asterisk for use as an IVR providing callers with textual data out of a database? Can it be combined easily

Also, as mentioned in my https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2012-August/064739.html, when not specifying the mode argument, the default on Windows is mode = "w" *except* for certain, case-sensitive, filename extensions: if(missing(mode) && length(grep("\\.(gz|bz2|xz|tgz|zip|rda|RData)$", url))) mode <- "wb" Just like the need for mode =
