Or add -fwrapv to all the Makefiles for unaidited code? Obviously not you. It seems to be easier to pretend you're not responsible for the next security bug in Linux.
I'm still amazed that for the gcc maintainers, performance seems to be more important than security of the existing code base. I'm even more amazed that they seem to be unable to do some benchmarks to show that they have a point, apart from some made-up examples. Why is Microsoft willing and able to do such changes to Visual Studio, and you are not? -- andreas at andreas dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |andreas at andreas dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30475
