This has been stable for me across numerous buildworld/installworld iterations, as well as when running several benchmarks. There's a bugfix to openpam in the patch that des says will be obsoleted by the next vendor import, so I'm planning to let that settle before committing. In the meanwhile, I'm hoping for some review sanity checks on the following aspects of the patch: > > * Are the symbol versioning specifications right, and are the compatibility > symbols for _malloc_options and _malloc_message workable? > > * Is it acceptable to check this in directly to trunk without using a vendor > branch?

I will only speak to this one. I do still find this useful (I used it most recently a week or so ago). It would be nice to keep if it is not a major pain to maintain. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
