It is finally there. Sparse 0.5.1 is released. I consider this the best quality of release of sparse I ever experienced so far. There are lots of enhancement and bug fixes incorporate into this release. I would like to thank every one that contributes to this release, people who submit patches, perform testing and send bug reports. I want to specially thank Luc Vanoostenryck who makes this release possible. He has 242 commits in this release, far more than any one else. The development effort for the next release has already began. Finally, I would like to call for developers joining the sparse project. If you are interested in modern compilers, reading compiler books and want some excise. Sparse is a good project to start. Sparse is very small, the project compiles under 10 seconds. It can digest the full kernel source file, generate internal byte code representation and perform check on it. All this happens in 1/10 of the time it took gcc to compile the same source file. Here is some project ideas, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git/tree/Documentation/project-ideas.md Thanks Chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
