I'm not sure where such vociferous concern on this subject arises. All the extant collector plugins I'm aware of operate in conjunction with the target-independent framework and require exactly zero code within each target backend. — Gordon

[LLVMdev] Why LLVM should NOT have garbage collection intrinsics[MESSAGE NOT SCANNED]
Hi, I realise this might be a bit controversial ;) Suppose I am writing a VM (such as VMKit), or a VM toolkit, and I want to add a generational GC. If I want to use the llvm.gcwrite intrinsic for my write barrier then I need to write a GC and then implement for each and *every* backend the gcwrite intrinsic for my write barrier. Now, if I don't use the intrinsic, I need to write my write

...st the difference via LRT (or F test). stepAIC in the MASS package will do stepwise selection via AIC. This opens the larger can of worms of why you're doing stepwise model selection in the first place ... I was surprised to see fastbw() in the rms package, since Frank Harrell is normally a vociferous opponent of stepwise approaches, but I assume (my copy of his book is not handy) that there is some context within which it makes statistical sense. > > My challenge is further complicated because I had hoped to use fastbw() > to generate a parsimonious model, but clearly fastbw also...

RFC: Improving license & patent issues in the LLVM community
...this. I've stated what numerous actual employment and IP lawyers who practice in germany have told me (multiple times, now, and in the past). You want to argue that it's wrong. Fine. I honestly don't care. But you should not expect me to take your opinion over theirs, even if you argue vociferously, because they are the folks who have tried to do these things in practice. I don't even have the same lawyers as the foundation, etc, and i'm sure they've vetted these issue as well. So i'm going to say: believe what you like. But i don't think it's reasonable to expec...

Class features in dialplan ?
hey guys I thought I was making progress on my dialplan when I realized that the class features that are available for zap channels aren't available for SIP channels. I see references in the archives to adding pattern matches in the dialplan for CLASS features which has raised a couple questions. 1. Is implementing CLASS like features via the dialplan the currently recommended way to do

What are the differences between systemd and non-systemd Linux distros?
...enexperiment instead: what if RHEL 7 shipped based on launchd instead of systemd, with no differences relative to the version shipped in the contemporaneous version of Mac OS X? I?m uncertain as to whether the opposition would have been as great, but I?m dead certain the opposition would have been vociferous and strident, because Linux, though less conservative than the BSDs, is much more conservative than macOS. The systemd vs launchd vs sysvinit vs whatever-else arguments are more about human factors than about technology, even though they?re usually couched as technical battles. > When people g...

ZFS and Linux
Hello, I believe that ZFS and it''s concepts is truly revolutionary to the point that I no longer see any OS as modern if it does not have comparable storage functionality. Therefore I think that file system/disk manager with similar qualities should be written for Linux. Does Sun have plans to dual license ZFS as GPL so it can be ported to native Linux? If not, is it legal to write

Yager on ZFS
