They are only proposed at this point but its from Apple and most of those happen.. this is badly needed by other people too eg rust cant use precise collection because of it which has a huge flow on ( eg it explains why @pointers are avoided rather than being the default and talk of removing the gc ) , they estimate to do this is a 12 month job . They do have a job for an LLVM engineer. So i feel it will come from someone..
So i will use the shadowstack until its ready .. there is a lot of other stuff to build. Worst case its 12 -18 months work to fork it which is a small proportion of rolling out a language or run time . Ben BTW did you get my email ? On Sun, Oct 27, 2013 at 2:03 AM, Jonathan S.
