Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit
Collabora
Productivity a subsidiary of Collabora focusing on LibreOffice support and
services for whom I work.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here.
Failing that, there are all manner of interesting things to read on
the LibreOffice Planet news
feed.

- Up early; light mail - poked at prelink a little -
re-linking everything on the system every time you change any
commonly used library still seems a rather unpleasant cost to me
particularly when it's seems to be to overcome the poor symbol lookup
design ELF defines.
- Built pre-link, met some of the people we have on
the toolchain Michael Matz, Dirk Mueller, Andreas Schwab etc.
considered re-working to add a '-Boo' ld option to do the work,
as a vendor patch. Googled / tried to read up on COMDAT work, a
nice page here on
Vague Linkage.
- It seems the COMDAT stuff is a nice way of removing
lots of the duplicated rtti data, which also sadly bins the weak
symbol tag for resolving the tricky dlopen case - ie. the same
number of relocations & -Bsymbolic still useless, and this
tweak ineffective; bother. Tomorrow - auditing quite how we
manage to generate quite so many relocations; perhaps there is
a deeper fix.
- Cell group in the evening; Sandy came briefly.

themselves, in context, in the battle for ideas, and I love fixes /
improvements / corrections by private mail.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE,
Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International),

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences
or fun.
