From Documentation/kasan.txt:therefore you will need a certain version of GCC > 4.9.2 AFAIK gcc 4.9.3 hasn't been released yet. (Or does it mean >= 4.9.2 ?)
It means 4.9.2. I also feel that this makes it too premature to remove kmemcheck, as not everyone (including myself) has the latest and greatest gcc on their systems.
Can we perhaps wait until there is a released version of GCC that supports KASan? And maybe then a touch longer so folks can test it works on their platforms?
Note, I replied to this cutting out the Cc's to the individuals so that it can have a wider audience! (figure out what I mean by that). You can see my reply on LKML (hint, you wont see the original email, or this current thread for that matter). -- Steve _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
