Hello all,
\nI’m here with my week 8 report on Modern C porting of Gentoo’s packages.<\/p>\n
Testing environments are set. I now have three environments to test my
\nPRs on.
\n– GCC 13 with glibc
\n– Clang-16 with llvm profile
\n– Clang-16 with musl-llvm profile<\/p>\n
Much of it goes to juippis who gave me the instructions for creating
\ncustom lxc images using gentoo stage-3 tar balls. This has helped me
\nimmensely, I can now have testing environment ready in only couple of
\nminutes and keep untouched clean environments at ready.<\/p>\n
Coming to my work, it’s has remained the same, I’ve picked up various
\nrandom bugs from the tracker list and worked on them. But I’ve come to
\nthe realization that my work isn’t just limited to c99 or c11 porting.
\nIt’s is mix between c99 porting, using Clang-16 as the default compiler
\nand perhaps using lld as the system linker as well. Which of course I’m
\nvery happy about.<\/p>\n
Another thing that Sam brought up is that it’s always the best to inform
\nhim whenever I’m or I’m not sending patches upstream, because it’s in
\nmy initial proposal to send patches upstream and sometimes it’s very
\nimportant because often times the developers of the packages know better
\nabout the codebase and can offer more in sights about what would be the
\nbest practice.<\/p>\n
Coming next week, I plan to work more on reducing the bug from the
\ntracker, mainly picking up bugs from the tracker and send patching them.<\/p>\n
Also, work with Sam and Joonas on my already submitted patches as they
\nhave started to review my PRs. Not to mention I’ve to take care about
\nsending patches upstream whenever possible, as Sam mentioned.<\/p>\n
Till then, see ya! Hello all, I’m here with my week 8 report on Modern C porting of Gentoo’s packages. Testing environments are set. I now have three environments to test my PRs on. – GCC 13 with glibc – Clang-16 with llvm profile … Continue reading
