July 11, 2014 [dmd-beta] Possibly important fix for 2.0.66 beta? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Just today I fixed an embarrassing bug with int/uint array comparisons, found by somebody on d-learn; perhaps this might be worth pushing into 2.0.66 beta / 2.0.66 release? https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/881 It seems to be the kind of thing we want to fix ASAP, due to bad rep that might come from having blatant bugs in such fundamental language constructs as array comparisons. :) T -- If you want to solve a problem, you need to address its root cause, not just its symptoms. Otherwise it's like treating cancer with Tylenol... _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list dmd-beta@puremagic.com http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta |

Posted in reply to H. S. Teoh | There's hundreds of open bugs of various levels of embarrassment. That's not exactly a recently introduced bug. We need to be focusing on the regressions and keeping the release cycle fast enough that we're not trying to slip more and more fixes in once the beta cycle has started. There's going to be a next release for more fixes to reside. My 2 cents, Brad On 7/11/14, 5:08 PM, H. S.

We need to be focusing on the regressions and keeping the release cycle fast enough that we're not trying to slip more and more fixes in once the beta cycle has started. There's going to be a next release for more fixes to reside. [...] Fair enough. I suppose the fact that this particular bug has been around for so long and only recently did somebody run into it, is proof that perhaps it's a very rarely encountered case, so probably doesn't warrant urgent treatment. T -- English is useful because it is a mess. Since English is a mess, it maps well onto the problem space, which is also a mess, which we call reality. Similarly, Perl was designed to be a mess, though in the nicests of all possible ways. -- Larry Wall _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list dmd-beta@puremagic.com http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta |
