No. The real bugs were that the people involved wouldn't even accept that unwinding information was inevitably buggy and/or incomplete. That much more fundamental bug never got fixed, as far as I know. I'm not going to merge anything that depends on unwind tables as things stand. The pain just isn't worth it. > > Please don't subject us to another couple months of hair-pulling only > > to have Linus yank the thing out again, there are certainly more > > useful things to spend time on :-) Good call. Dwarf2 unwinding simply isn't worth doing. But I won't yank it out, I simply won't merge it. It was more than just totally buggy code, it was an inability of the people to understand that even bugfree code isn't enough - you have to be able to also handle buggy data.
