I would like to suggest clang-LLVM (clang.llvm.org, llvm.org) tools to be used when we build/tune our bulids.
Just incorporating other communities' software trees doesn't look like so memory/resource efficient way. I did some testings on my laptop using DTrace - it looks like that GNOME stack has many memory leakages. It could be observed even more via LLVM. Is problem with lacking of engineers? I know that Solaris family is very reliable, OpenSolaris a little bit less while build are provided on 'as is' basis but I'm a little bit concerned how whole OS is being developed. We will come to the point where there will be no solution for errors we make now, because many thing would rely on that in the future. I spoke with some people holding PhD in CS who are working for Sun couple months ago - they are really doing their job on a highly professional way, even they have nearly 60 years! Their job is related to Sun kernel and performance tools, and maybe this is the reason why this part of OpenSolaris is state-of-the-art for the Xorg consolidation. My idea with this post is to start conversation what we could do to create more reliable environment and provide reliable road-map in order to secure error-free software development? Uros Nedic Belgrade, Serbia P.S:By the way, why we can't use Sun compiling tools instead of GCC? GCC provides to as at least twice slower code than Sun compilers, according to my small calculations. _________________________________________________________________ Share your memories online with anyone you want. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/products/photos-share.aspx?tab=1 _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
