Plus, the code is always present in the source repository. It's not lost if we remove it from the working set we build today. -Brent ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev

Re: [webkit-dev] C stack direction
If it was code in JavaScriptCore that was no longer used I could see the point, But since it's WTF functionality that isn't being used in another component atm. I would tend to keep it. But then I've always hated ( and been bitten by ) things like "its allways going to be 32bit, chars are always signed, stacks always grow down, everything is little-endian" etc. So maybe I'm over-protective. Just my 2c.

Is anyone still building, testing, and using this configuration with an upward growing stack? I'm wondering whether to drop support for upward growing stacks altogether.
