Yeah, so quirky options generally suck and only 0.01% of the users will use it.
It's in a way worse than not having this code, because we'll have to maintain
it,
but it won't be used.
Is there a way to auto-detect 'executable anon mappings' (perhaps by generating
an
MMAP event with some extra bit set, or a new MMAP event?) so that it's all
seemless?
The user should not be required to know about such details!
Thanks,
Ingo
