pure-Go implementation does not compiled on many archs. Because Go's "gc" compiler supports only i386, amd64, ARM and IBM POWER processor architectures (from Wikipedia) and gccgo, GCC frontend (GCC >= 4.6), does not work everywhere too because of old architecture or architecture's resctriction. C implementation working everywhere. So, what is the purpose? _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
