Re: [Crash-utility] Accessing integer variables from sial
----- Original Message -----
Dave, Luc,
This is the same patch I've sent to both of you back in January.
It applies cleanly against 5.1.8
Did you send it directly to us? (I don't see it in the archives.)
In any case, just the other day I received automatic email from
mailman(a)redhat.com reporting "excessive bounces" from both of Luc's
subscribed addresses, and I see on his LinkedIn page that he has left
that company. I'll see if I can get in touch with him.
I'd like to get it into the official tree - it does solve the
problem
of getting access to integer variables from sial and so far I haven't
seen any side-effects.
It's fine with me, although I am not a sial user. In the meantime, unless
anybody else on the list has any objections, I'll queue the patch for crash-5.1.9.
BTW, I note that more recent versions of ld make this complaint:
$ make extensions

By any chance, do you have any insight on how to address that?
Thanks,
