The sync between rust and the GCC backend is done. We were a bit late there but finally caught up. Why do we need to "sync"? Because the GCC backend is developped in its own repository to allow us to test things without breaking the Rust compiler. It also allows us to iter much faster as we have a much smaller amount of tests needed to run. So from time to time, we need to sync the code between the two repositories. Anyway, here's the PR with 224 commits (yep, you read it right ^^'): https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/159844 Next cg_gcc progress report will be very interesting to read. :3 #rust #rustlang

I foresee:

  1. #Debian eventually following #MidnightBSD's lead and cutting #California off from #FreeSoftware; after lengthy mailing list discussions where at least one person tries to deny with convoluted nonsense the plain reading of the statute.

  2. A storm when someone points out that the #MobaXTerm version of APT isn't exempt, nor is RPM. (Goodness knows what IBM is going to do.)

  3. An even bigger storm when someone adds an 'age' field to systemd's JSON User Records, to be enforced and served out over Desktop Bus via a systemd-aged service or some such. Much fun if that someone comes from a #GDPR country.

  4. Some nutter taking a Linux distribution to court because it doesn't enable developers to control whether 16-year-olds can install rustc and busybox.
