And wrt portability atm you can pick any compiler for the linux kernel as long as it's gcc compatible. So imo nothing to really worry about. Aside: We really should start to ditch all these (vm, obj) pair lookups and move to using vmas everywhere ... -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
