asciilifeform: and is meta-designed to make this thinkable and practical.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: this is 'the hole through which the night walks in', to borrow a mircea_popescuism ☟︎

asciilifeform: which is why that human turd jon callas kept going on and on about how 'real security patches, even against user's will, because updates are the most important thing in security'

asciilifeform: decimation: the patches reliably break, in their turn, other things

asciilifeform: !s spittoon

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it is, to use my technical term, a spittoon.

asciilifeform: who wants to maintain it ?

asciilifeform: aha so now we have a local fork of openssl ?

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: but recall the thread where mircea_popescu demanded mathematical proof.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i have not tried it

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu check it out ^

asciilifeform: Motherfuckers.

asciilifeform: incidentally, my own portatronic build did not work without this patch.

asciilifeform: not run.

asciilifeform: but we're talking about a b0rk3d -build-

asciilifeform: the ancestral 'strace' works for me

asciilifeform: that one

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/attachments/20150128/asciilifeform-porta-tronic_67d6162e1cc78b3a6aca584e2123e59fdee189f6.patch

asciilifeform: well, all the accepted patches plus my unaccepted integer fix patch (not today's, but the earlier one in portatron)

asciilifeform: included all the patches but the static-build stuff

asciilifeform: because that's sorta what releases are for

asciilifeform: not from the old crap

asciilifeform: and wanted my patches, when any, to diff -from it-

asciilifeform: but there is a Release !

asciilifeform: i realize that i could do this just as well with my old traditional build.

asciilifeform: and ended here.

asciilifeform: with nothing fancy or crosscompilatory whatsoever.

asciilifeform: on ordinary machine.

asciilifeform: wanted to build an instrumented version of bitcoind for this

asciilifeform: i actually sat down that time to properly fix the bastard blocks thing

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: but you are running ahead of the class even here.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aha

asciilifeform: ^ all the detail you could ever wish for.

asciilifeform: ;;google ada ravenscar

asciilifeform: the comforts of home.

asciilifeform: you get civilization.

asciilifeform: not same as a naked main() in c

asciilifeform: because ada spec -includes a scheduler-

asciilifeform: this is easier than it sounds

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: iron.

asciilifeform: no

asciilifeform: (when i do the thing that requires the ada, it won't be happening on openbsd. or gentoo)

asciilifeform: or to openbsd

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not related to what we were doing though...

asciilifeform: (assuming ordinary gcc still builds there!)

asciilifeform: this should also work on crapple

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it has gcc. build with ada included in --enable-languages

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo's ?

asciilifeform: what machine

asciilifeform: wat

asciilifeform off to pet pet, bbl

asciilifeform: (i sorta do this for a living. but no one should take only my word for things.)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is no escape from this.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ultimately we audit the bins

asciilifeform: and auto.sh did not notice.

asciilifeform: note that it died a mostly silent death, buried beneath a torrent of barf from other compiles

asciilifeform: ^ how openssl dies.

asciilifeform: make: *** [install_docs] Error 1

asciilifeform: Makefile:640: recipe for target 'install_docs' failed

asciilifeform: POD document had syntax errors at /usr/bin/pod2man line 71.

asciilifeform: cms.pod around line 474: Expected text after =item, not a number

asciilifeform: cms.pod around line 470: Expected text after =item, not a number

asciilifeform: cms.pod around line 465: Expected text after =item, not a number

asciilifeform: cms.pod around line 461: Expected text after =item, not a number

asciilifeform: cms.pod around line 457: Expected text after =item, not a number

asciilifeform: then objdump.

asciilifeform: or turn debug on.

asciilifeform: decimation has it

asciilifeform: but not the whole thing.

asciilifeform: missed this because the dir was there, and with some contents

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: or hm, no it isn't.

asciilifeform: this is the auto.sh build.

asciilifeform: and is exactly where it was supposed to go.

asciilifeform: it built.

asciilifeform: this is the static build, remember!

asciilifeform: it built

asciilifeform: after the words 'Let's try that build again:'

asciilifeform: read whole thing plz

asciilifeform: then might get something from the DWARF data.

asciilifeform: try turning debug symbols back on

asciilifeform: that means it's all ground beef.

asciilifeform: because - elementarily - static.

asciilifeform: and you won't.

asciilifeform: *steady hand

asciilifeform: the only way to know what's in a static build is a disassembler, a stead hand, a thermos of coffee, and some familiarity with the constituent parts

asciilifeform: which is one of the penalties for going static

asciilifeform: cannot possibly work for static build.

asciilifeform: i think this only works for DYNAMIC

asciilifeform: but!

asciilifeform: readelf -a bitcoind | grep -i ssl

asciilifeform: mod6: readelf

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al ^

asciilifeform: ^ finally.
