There's no known fix for this bug.
I could have sworn he worked at one point.
Our internal bug tracking software requires submitter to classify bug. Available options are : Security, Performance, Serious Bug, Data loss, new feature. Pick one!
Is there an option for "All of the above" ?
If there's no such option, Serious Bug seems to be the most fitting for the levity of this PR.
If bug 100 couldn't be fixed, what do you think the chances of fixing this one are? -Chris
I don't know, but not fixing it is not an option!
We really should categorize these correctly. Marking this as a tool. Also, because Chris is a Common Code Generator, it's believed that the problem's in his internal code.
This definitely happens on ALL Platforms and All Operating Systems.
I know some people (actually 3) who might be able to fix him. He can be turned into the proper open source compiler guru: http://www.webweavertech.com/ovidiu/weblog/gallery/richard-stallman/richard-stallman-Images/1.jpg But this is Tonya's call since she has to live with him. I suspect this will be a p4later, err, I mean WONTFIX.
Based on the foregoing, fixing this is looking to be hard. I suggest we start with containment. While we may not be able to get to the root cause of the problem quickly, perhaps we can diminish or eliminate the viral effects it has on the project. So, here's some suggestions to get started: 1. Everyone stop talking to Chris immediately. 2. With Tanya's help, perhaps we can unplug Chris during off hours. 3. Everything Chris does needs to be code reviewed by everybody (except Chris). 4. Definitely no more Lattners on the project. Any other impact reducing ideas? :)
Ah, there's nothing buggy with Chris that a couple of beers couldn't fix!
So, you think the fix to this is free? As in free beer?
5. We could revert all of Chris' code?
I don't think this is fixable.
It may not be fixable, but WORKSFORME? I don't think so, mister.
This is much more appropriate.
Dale asked me to test Bugzilla, and picked this one (?). Ergo, this is a test comment.
Why are you testing bugzilla?
Dale said that Bugzilla wasn't working for him, and he asked me to add a comment to some bug, and when I insisted on a number, he chose this one.
Ok, well, let me know if its still a problem. I've had one other person say they couldnt respond to certain bugs, so just wanted to know if it was a trend or not.
