Adopting it would take time/effort to verify, test, double-check on bunch of platforms. It's also undertaking in form of learning and maintaining the long-term programming discipline. And the trouble is that there always are more urgent/important/interesting things to do... Also look at last two assembly-related cases. Would stack unwindability make difference? Not a bit... That said, I wouldn't go further than "perlsyntax" part of submission, verify http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=22526. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
