This is just a quick note to say that we do care. We care about writing good code. We care about writing portable code. We care about writing code that others will see, read and use, and we hope, appreciate. So please, do keep on filing bug reports and letting us know about problems, but do not think that we do not care. We do. Cheers Nick PS. Mind you the thing I do not care about are when I get a CVE report for one of these memory leak bugs saying that the leak is a potential source of a denial of service attack. I mean seriously, if one of the binutils tools does not free all of its memory before exiting, can that really be used as a DoS ?
