[sage-devel] Blocker tickets needs review

I must say that I saw the ticket and was about to review it, because nobody had done this so far. But I read Volker's comment, and I agree with him. Perhaps the reason for the failure of all of us to review this ticket is that not only Volker feels uncomfortable with such a change. I don't know

I don't think there is a bad consequence for repeatedly checking the status of a terminated child process with exponential backoff. Its just really weird that you would ever do that if your OS works correctly. And IMHO it hurts code maintainability. Not to mention debugging, assuming that you ar

The *safest* option of them all is of course to never build with optimizations. Its comparably easy to generate straightforward machine code, the compiler bugs are invariably tied to the optimization process. Also, I think that old bugs in the gcc bugzilla are not systematically tested against

I have a bad feeling about this. We both know that nobody is going to check whether its still necessary to downgrade optimizations by the time that, say, 4.6.5 rolls out. IHMO it would be much better to use the compiler wrapper and limit optimizations globally for specific compiler releases. --

There are two blockers for sage-4.7 which need review, both are spkg patches: #11226: Sympow spkg fails with gcc 4.6.0 #11278: singular 3-1-1-4.p8 fails on Mac OS X 10.4 Normally, these two tickets are the last obstacles for a sage-4.7 release. Jeroen. -- To post to this group, send an email
