Hello,
I'm one of the Debian maintainers of rsync and I'm currently
investigating the switch from "--with-included-zlib=yes" to "no" for
the next stable release (ETA 2021). So basically I'm investigating
what are the impacts of using upstream's zlib instead of rsync's
bundled one.
For the investi
I haven't found a way to control GCC's target selector at runtime
(though in theory it could be possible), so switching between specific
optimizations (SSE2 vs SSSE3) may prove difficult or require
additional duplication of code. Bypassing the optimizations completely
in an all-or-nothing way shoul
would it perhaps make sense to have a "--disable-sse2/3" commandline
switch in rsync, too - at least for some timeframe until this is
considered "rock solid" ?
i dislike having automatic cpu feature switching code in a tool which
needs to be reliable for me, this new optimization may have issues
