Subject: Some libffi updates
Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2019 18:29:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACxje5-pxzu-vtU7ZWR1UYoRZMM+Kx52F_rKVMOeYrObSej8eQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Yesterday, in Montreal, DJ Delorie, Florian Weimer and I had a little
libffi meeting ...
A new libffi release was the #1 topic. My main concern here is making sure
we haven't broken the ABI since the last release. DJ pointed out that we
can use libabigail ( https://sourceware.org/libabigail/ ) as part of the
build/CI process , comparing the output to the current Fedora libffi (for
instance). I believe that he's going to try to make this happen.
I think the only Travis CI failure right now is related to apt-get refusing
to pull moxie toolchain packages from an insecure (http-only) repo. I'm
just going to let's-encrypt up some certs to fix that soon. I haven't
checked the appveyor results in a while.
The second topic was related to an idea Florian had to eliminate the need
for RWX memory or the selinux hacks on x86 Linux. It seems like a great
idea, and I hope we'll see patches sometime in the future.
In addition, as a result of this meeting, I have enabled libffi repo commit
access for DJ. Thanks for your help DJ!
