56 2014-09-03 01:00:14 <GandalfGreyHat> I understand there's a way to sign messages with your private key somehow, but is there a way that a verification check can be made on said messages via automatic means or a script?

60 2014-09-03 01:03:25 <GandalfGreyHat> Would it be better for me to require users always send from the same send address or have a way for users to make accounts on the site? If I'm trying to make it as easy as possible to tie isolated transactions back to one individual?

283 2014-09-03 05:43:08 <justanotheruser> probably
284 2014-09-03 05:43:52 <justanotheruser> though, you should look into the problems with altclients, mainly netsplit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260595.0
285 2014-09-03 05:44:34 <dgenr8> what keeps a joker from constantly broadcasting every unconfirmed tx he has ever seen, trying to grow mempools?
286 2014-09-03 05:44:55 <justanotheruser> dgenr8: #bitcoin
287 2014-09-03 05:44:56 <phantomcircuit> dgenr8, whatever policy the peers implement
288 2014-09-03 05:46:19 <dgenr8> i guess i'm suprised not to have seen this, or seen it described happening in the wild
289 2014-09-03 05:46:51 <justanotheruser> dgenr8: well the peers you're connected to must not have a policy that allows spam
290 2014-09-03 05:47:13 <justanotheruser> which is probably because they are running a vanilla reference client
291 2014-09-03 05:47:49 <lechuga_> dgenr8: it would get rejected from every immediate node
292 2014-09-03 05:47:56 <lechuga_> so it wouldnt propagate
293 2014-09-03 05:48:02 <lechuga_> and would fill no mempools afaict
294 2014-09-03 05:48:23 <dgenr8> reference client collects a great deal of non-confirming crud in 2 months http://mempool.info
295 2014-09-03 05:49:32 <justanotheruser> dgenr8: seems to only have a handful of tx per day from more than 3 days ago
296 2014-09-03 05:49:58 <lechuga_> how would he relay enough to grow the mempool to a material size if it wont exceed the utxo set size anyway
297 2014-09-03 05:50:19 <lechuga_> he (sic attacker)
298 2014-09-03 05:50:20 <dgenr8> good point
299 2014-09-03 05:50:53 HaltingState2 has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
300 2014-09-03 05:51:06 <justanotheruser> lechuga_: he's saying relaying unconfirmed tx anyways, so the unconfirmed tx might be spending unconfirmed tx or doublespending since we are already allowing spam
301 2014-09-03 05:52:18 <lechuga_> that's true unconfirmed spends could still propagate but how would doublespends be allowed in the mempool
302 2014-09-03 05:52:36 <dgenr8> orphans are at least limited
303 2014-09-03 05:53:05 <justanotheruser> lechuga_: we are imagining a world where spamming is possible, right
304 2014-09-03 05:53:16 <justanotheruser> anyways, replace by fee would make that possible at a cost
305 2014-09-03 05:53:41 HaltingState has joined
306 2014-09-03 05:53:49 <lechuga_> yeah
307 2014-09-03 05:55:19 <dgenr8> justanotheruser: which spam protection are you thinking of?
308 2014-09-03 05:55:45 <lechuga_> justanotheruser: thx re: btctalk link
309 2014-09-03 05:55:47 <justanotheruser> dgenr8: not allowing people to send tx about without a cost?
310 2014-09-03 05:56:02 <lechuga_> also remarkably apropos
311 2014-09-03 05:56:23 <justanotheruser> dgenr8: or at least not allowing too many free tx to be sent at a time
312 2014-09-03 05:56:25 oujh has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
313 2014-09-03 05:58:42 <dgenr8> so an upper bound may be (utxo size + orphan limit) per node
314 2014-09-03 05:59:27 <justanotheruser> you can make spam much bigger than the utxo if there is no spam prevention
315 2014-09-03 06:00:02 <justanotheruser> for example, if there was no spam prevention, I could make a 900kb tx with a 100 byte output
316 2014-09-03 06:00:16 <justanotheruser> so maybe multiply the utxo by 9000
317 2014-09-03 06:00:23 oujh has joined
318 2014-09-03 06:00:51 <dgenr8> yes, i just meant in terms of # of txes.
319 2014-09-03 06:01:29 <justanotheruser> if you have the spam prevention of preventing doublespends and "softspends" (some coredevs don't like that word for reasons I forget) then yes
320 2014-09-03 06:04:42 <justanotheruser> certainly isn't ideal to let the mempool be 10000 times the size of the utxo
321 2014-09-03 06:05:50 <dgenr8> gathering up unsuccessful spends will only work against as small fraction of utxo though
322 2014-09-03 06:06:23 <justanotheruser> unsuccessful spends?

333 2014-09-03 06:10:29 <lechuga_> on the grounds that they cant possibly get it right
334 2014-09-03 06:10:40 <lechuga_> wasnt bitcoind designed to be a reference implementation
335 2014-09-03 06:10:45 <justanotheruser> lechuga_: was talking to a few people yesterday about this. Seems the consensus is they should use satoshi consensus code if they make an alt-client
336 2014-09-03 06:11:02 <lechuga_> im for that, which would need to incldue a modular script runner
337 2014-09-03 06:11:08 <justanotheruser> sipa: the way I've heard it use is spending an unconfirmed tx
338 2014-09-03 06:11:11 <sipa> lechuga_: working on it!

358 2014-09-03 06:20:41 <lechuga_> at least more accomodating of a more heterogeneous network
359 2014-09-03 06:20:42 <sipa> eventually, i suppose
360 2014-09-03 06:20:51 <lechuga_> which should fundamentally be more healthy

364 2014-09-03 06:21:35 <sipa> judging from previous experiences
365 2014-09-03 06:21:48 <lechuga_> if we write tests for known methods it's at least a start at a comprehensive regression suite
366 2014-09-03 06:22:05 <sipa> fair enough; i couldn't hurt

371 2014-09-03 06:23:38 <lechuga_> it's a complex system but i dont think it' insurmountably so. altho look at sendmail's history.
372 2014-09-03 06:23:40 <sipa> but on the other hand, N implementations means O(N^2) different ways in which they could fail to interact with eachother

379 2014-09-03 06:24:43 <midnightmagic> IE doesn't notice if you write a netscape that can't parse IE javascript
380 2014-09-03 06:24:44 <lechuga_> well akamai and google dont use apache for everything either
381 2014-09-03 06:24:59 <justanotheruser> M being the number of operations needed to evaluate tx and blocks?
382 2014-09-03 06:25:19 <sipa> justanotheruser: no, i mean the interaction between implementation A and implementation B can fail
383 2014-09-03 06:25:29 <justanotheruser> sipa: in one of M ways
384 2014-09-03 06:25:42 <sipa> if there are N self-consistent implementations, there are O(N^2) potential different interactions
385 2014-09-03 06:25:56 <sipa> sure, add some constants; this is all handwavy anyway

417 2014-09-03 06:35:35 <sipa> scriptPubKey is the script as it exists, _literally_ in the txout
418 2014-09-03 06:35:50 <sipa> in the case of P2SH, the scriptPubKey is HASH160 <hash> OP_EQUAL
419 2014-09-03 06:35:59 <sipa> _that_ must be standard

421 2014-09-03 06:36:12 <poutine> I understand now
422 2014-09-03 06:36:22 <sipa> it does not know or care what the redeemscript referred to by the p2sh hash is
423 2014-09-03 06:36:45 <sipa> however, there is separate code for doing standardness tests on inputs
424 2014-09-03 06:36:57 <poutine> It's just I compile master, and while I have not compiled in maybe the last month, the redemption with the nonstandard redeem was rejected
425 2014-09-03 06:36:57 <sipa> which in the case of P2SH does apply some checks in addition
426 2014-09-03 06:37:02 <poutine> because the serialized script was nonstandard
427 2014-09-03 06:37:23 <poutine> but I trust you know what you're talking about so I will research more
428 2014-09-03 06:38:01 <poutine> I also understand the miner situation with 0.10, but this is my mempool I'm talking about
429 2014-09-03 06:38:06 <sipa> i see
430 2014-09-03 06:38:23 <sipa> maybe it was from before the p2sh relaxing patch was merged?
431 2014-09-03 06:38:34 <poutine> perhaps, I will research more, thanks for explaining
432 2014-09-03 06:38:50 <sipa> also, still not every script will be allowed
433 2014-09-03 06:39:00 <sipa> in particular, there are still size and sigop constraints

441 2014-09-03 06:43:57 <BlueMatt> the linux builds linked from bitcoin.org
442 2014-09-03 06:44:02 <BlueMatt> in the latest versions
443 2014-09-03 06:44:07 <cfields> windows is always static. osx will be when the gitian descriptors merge goes in. linux are all dynamic
444 2014-09-03 06:44:14 <BlueMatt> wat?
445 2014-09-03 06:44:21 <BlueMatt> when did we switch to dynamic qt on linux?
446 2014-09-03 06:44:36 <BlueMatt> or anything dynamic on linux
447 2014-09-03 06:45:41 <cfields> been that way as long as i've been around, afaik

452 2014-09-03 06:55:25 <BlueMatt> not because its right, of course, but because its practical, and prevents dumb crap like https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/4799#issuecomment-53978821

460 2014-09-03 06:59:10 <cfields> BlueMatt: bitcoin builds/links fine against static/dynamic qt4/qt5. all that matters is how gitian is setup to build it
461 2014-09-03 06:59:25 <BlueMatt> hmm, well we had to be static in the wx era as we were using an unsupported version, and I know before autotools gitian was static
462 2014-09-03 06:59:33 <BlueMatt> ie the RELEASE flag was STATIC=1
463 2014-09-03 06:59:40 <BlueMatt> which static'd everything
464 2014-09-03 07:00:04 <cfields> but that was when the .pro was used as well

466 2014-09-03 07:00:30 <cfields> so it still would've depended on how qt itself was built
467 2014-09-03 07:01:26 <cfields> maybe you're right, i dunno. "since i've been around" pretty much lines up with the autotools change :)

474 2014-09-03 07:09:07 <cfields> yes
475 2014-09-03 07:09:21 <BlueMatt> why is it special?
476 2014-09-03 07:09:21 <cfields> well, and glibc/libstdc++
477 2014-09-03 07:09:25 <BlueMatt> sure, sure
478 2014-09-03 07:09:51 <cfields> because qt uses plugins to integrate with desktop managers

484 2014-09-03 07:12:20 <cfields> it was originally static qt5, but moved back to qt4 after discussion there
485 2014-09-03 07:12:37 <BlueMatt> indeed, though was there any need to go before 4.8?
486 2014-09-03 07:13:01 <BlueMatt> does 4.8 use the same plugin model?
487 2014-09-03 07:13:05 <cfields> yea, debian/redhat/centos/tails/etc
488 2014-09-03 07:13:16 <BlueMatt> hmm?
489 2014-09-03 07:13:31 <BlueMatt> you mean for dynamic, is there any reason to go before 4.8 static?
490 2014-09-03 07:14:33 <cfields> 4.x static wouldn't be any benefit. either 4.x shared for most compat, or 5.x static to drop the dependency and upgrade

493 2014-09-03 07:16:07 <BlueMatt> it would be, then we wouldnt have to touch 4.6 or the issues there
494 2014-09-03 07:16:15 <BlueMatt> we could use an actually up-to-date version
495 2014-09-03 07:17:07 <cfields> 4.x static doesn't allow for plugins, maybe that's where we're losing eachother?
496 2014-09-03 07:18:13 <BlueMatt> is there any use for plugins?
497 2014-09-03 07:18:35 <cfields> see the link above, wumpus linked some images
498 2014-09-03 07:18:39 <BlueMatt> I mean afaict, the difference is 5.X uses magical plugins to make things work, 4.X doesnt
499 2014-09-03 07:18:48 <BlueMatt> yea, I thought it worked on 4.X static?
500 2014-09-03 07:19:05 <wumpus> 4.x static has no benefits
501 2014-09-03 07:19:12 <wumpus> no it doesn't, it doesn't work for any static qt
502 2014-09-03 07:19:17 <BlueMatt> ahhh, ok
503 2014-09-03 07:19:18 <cfields> no, static qt disables plugin support, it assumes you build it exactly how you want users to se it
504 2014-09-03 07:19:19 <BlueMatt> thats the disconnect
505 2014-09-03 07:19:35 <BlueMatt> 4.X static clearly has benifits over using an os-provided 4.6.OLD_AND_BROKEN
506 2014-09-03 07:19:51 <BlueMatt> but, ok
507 2014-09-03 07:19:57 <wumpus> old, not broken
508 2014-09-03 07:20:15 <cfields> BlueMatt: in that case, 5.x static is the way to go. 4.x static really doesn't make sense to target

510 2014-09-03 07:20:34 <wumpus> cfields: right
511 2014-09-03 07:21:27 <BlueMatt> cfields: sure, I was under the impression 4.X didnt have plugin things at all and the idea of plugins to make things work with your os was a 5.X thing
512 2014-09-03 07:22:38 <wumpus> yes, in 4.x it was normal for distros to just hack Qt into pieces instead of providing plugins :-) that doesn't help the static case, tho
513 2014-09-03 07:22:40 <cfields> BlueMatt: nope. ubuntu (and others i'm sure) started patching it in in 4.x, it was fully mainlined in 5.2 iirc.
514 2014-09-03 07:23:23 <cfields> er... 5.3
515 2014-09-03 07:25:03 <wumpus> anyhow there is no ideal solution for the qt problem on linux

650 2014-09-03 10:00:50 <BlueMatt> wumpus: I'm making the headers match the license
651 2014-09-03 10:01:17 <wumpus> hmm... but what is the real license, the one in the header or the one in the global copying file
652 2014-09-03 10:01:21 <BlueMatt> (and I dont feel comfortable going the other way because it gets less restrictive, so I'd want to ask /everyone/)
653 2014-09-03 10:01:39 <BlueMatt> I suggest it doesnt matter as long as one is clearly strictly more restrictive
654 2014-09-03 10:01:49 <BlueMatt> and expat it, it simply adds an extra clause that x11 does not have
655 2014-09-03 10:02:00 <wumpus> but why a more restrictive license? what clause?

672 2014-09-03 10:11:19 <BlueMatt> ok...sooo. Our headers say "MIT/X11" which refers to the license in our COPYING file EXCEPT for an additional clause which is included in the X11 license:
673 2014-09-03 10:11:21 <BlueMatt> "Except as contained in this notice, the name(s) of the above copyright holders shall not be used in advertising or otherwise to promote the sale, use or other dealings in this Software without prior written authorization."

675 2014-09-03 10:12:04 <BlueMatt> additionally, the specific license used in X11 refers explicitly to X Consortium
676 2014-09-03 10:12:29 <BlueMatt> the clause quoted above is from wikipedia, which replaces "X Consortium" with "name(s) of the above copyright holders"

678 2014-09-03 10:13:05 <BlueMatt> however, in the expat license's main block, "THE X CONSORTIUM" is replaced with "AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS"
679 2014-09-03 10:13:15 <BlueMatt> which I think is more consistent since we dont name all authors
680 2014-09-03 10:13:33 <BlueMatt> thus, for consistency, I propose we add the following clause to the COPYING file:
681 2014-09-03 10:13:39 <BlueMatt> "+
682 2014-09-03 10:13:39 <BlueMatt> +Except as contained in this notice, the name of the authors or copyright

788 2014-09-03 11:51:34 <hearn> i think you could just use it and not load the underlying library, perhaps. though i think the tool tries to load the underlying lib by default.

803 2014-09-03 12:03:02 <wumpus> well the idea would be to link against a certain well-defined interface, instead of local libraries, for compatibilty with different distributions
804 2014-09-03 12:03:16 rybro has quit (Quit: Byeebye)
805 2014-09-03 12:03:55 <hearn> that's what relaytool was designed to help solve. about a decade ago i was working on the problem of distributing binaries to linux users
806 2014-09-03 12:03:57 <wumpus> (without having to build those versions of the libraries, or copying them from a running system)
807 2014-09-03 12:04:08 <hearn> version skew in the libraries, what's available, what's not etc, binary compatibility problems with glibc
808 2014-09-03 12:04:14 <hearn> i wrote solutions for lots of them
809 2014-09-03 12:04:37 <hearn> you can say "only load the symbols used in these files", for example.
810 2014-09-03 12:04:57 <hearn> of course you still have a bit of manual work. if some linux users have feature X and others don't, well, you need to be able to fall back gracefully at runtime no matter what
811 2014-09-03 12:05:09 jcv has joined
812 2014-09-03 12:05:24 <wumpus> currently we just build all the libraries, which is ok for small libraries, but has some overhead for a monster like qt
813 2014-09-03 12:05:42 <hearn> you mean build in gitian?
814 2014-09-03 12:06:15 <wumpus> yes, for example
815 2014-09-03 12:06:24 <hearn> generally it should "just work" without any special hacks, unless the header files of the library magically rewrite your code to "upgrade it". GTK and glibc were always terrible for that. this is where the "you must compile on the oldest distro you care about" black magic came from
816 2014-09-03 12:07:25 <hearn> for C++ it can be difficult to do this though because you end up linking against pieces of data and not just functions. relaytool has some support for this but i can't remember how well it worked.
817 2014-09-03 12:07:33 <hearn> i'd just copy the libraries
818 2014-09-03 12:07:48 <wumpus> well, we do that right now, but I was hoping there would be a way to avoid this
819 2014-09-03 12:08:32 <wumpus> indeed, it would also have to handle pieces of data, not just functions (although the content of the data itself doesn't matter because it's never used)
820 2014-09-03 12:09:16 <hearn> *shrug* probably not worth the effort. the binaries aren't that big, are they? copying them should not be a big deal. stripping the code from the ABI definition seems like a lot of work for little gain. for relaytool it was worth it because we wanted the same binary to adapt gracefully to different distro and library versions.
821 2014-09-03 12:09:31 <hearn> but if there won't be any runtime adaptation and it's just about compile times, i'd just go with binary copies
822 2014-09-03 12:10:01 <wumpus> well we can't copy the binary, everything has to be built from source... the intermediate binaries are cached, but it's some overhead just to have an interface
823 2014-09-03 12:10:32 <hearn> they have to be built from source, why? you can hard-code the library hashes, right
824 2014-09-03 12:10:43 <wumpus> right, I had hoped there was just some obscure option to objcopy to do this
825 2014-09-03 12:11:24 <wumpus> if it involves reviving ancient code it's indeed not worth it, was asking just in case, I don't want to spend much time on it
826 2014-09-03 12:11:42 <hearn> ok
827 2014-09-03 12:11:59 <hearn> in theory relaytool should still work, the ELF ABI is a stable standard. but i haven't tried it

831 2014-09-03 12:14:41 <hearn> right, solaris
832 2014-09-03 12:15:07 <hearn> is this impacting your productivity? i thought gitian builds were only made at release time. perhaps the foundation can set up a compile farm
833 2014-09-03 12:15:42 <sipa> ideally, we're able to test all supported platforms exactly as they would be at release
834 2014-09-03 12:16:00 <sipa> otherwise you encounter things like using some old GCC compiler unsupported feature way too late
835 2014-09-03 12:16:41 <wumpus> hearn: well both gitian and the travis tester (will) use the new depends mechanism

842 2014-09-03 12:18:35 <wumpus> I'm just interested in it

844 2014-09-03 12:19:32 <hearn> relaytool is a pretty funny piece of code. it's a bash script that generates a C file which has inline assembly stubs.
845 2014-09-03 12:19:35 <hearn> :)
846 2014-09-03 12:19:39 <hearn> it was nice to use though!

850 2014-09-03 12:23:07 oujh has joined
851 2014-09-03 12:23:30 <wumpus> that's closest to a working solution you'll get with GNU tools, with LLVM it could be solved more elegantly by generating bytecode and compiling that to a library directly

925 2014-09-03 13:12:56 <sipa> jgarzik: while, assuming the implied license was the more restrictive version, loosening would require acknowledgement from copyright holders

931 2014-09-03 13:15:24 <sipa> ok, that's possible
932 2014-09-03 13:16:11 <jgarzik> sipa, BlueMatt's PR looks like a license change according to all my experience with Red Hat lawyers and copyright. We had a lot of these issues in the kernel, making sure included code (often MIT etc.) was properly copyrighted, and going through the arduous process of contacting authors if not.

935 2014-09-03 13:17:30 <jgarzik> usually it was the old-BSD with advertising clause that needed changing to a better license without advertising clause. Can't just relicense BSD code, as permissive a license as it is.

952 2014-09-03 13:30:39 <wumpus> good question, where does the MIT/X11 text come from

970 2014-09-03 13:34:27 <jgarzik> wumpus, sipa, No. "Expat" adds a clause, and is a license change.
971 2014-09-03 13:34:38 <jgarzik> if it adds a clause, it's not the same license.

981 2014-09-03 13:35:47 <sipa> so, not BlueMatt's brain
982 2014-09-03 13:36:14 <sipa> anyway, i have no idea about legal value of these
983 2014-09-03 13:36:19 <sipa> but i wouldn't just dismiss it :)
984 2014-09-03 13:36:37 <jgarzik> sipa, wumpus: The only viable fix AFAICS is simply removing the "/X11" string from each file.
985 2014-09-03 13:37:02 <sipa> people may argue that that is a license change too
986 2014-09-03 13:37:05 <wumpus> so you do admit something is wrong
987 2014-09-03 13:37:31 <sipa> but IANAL, and i agree that it's likely that the link and COPYING text has more legal value than the name of license in files
988 2014-09-03 13:37:32 <jgarzik> sipa, They would be wrong. The license _text_ has always been the same, both in COPYING and at the link.
989 2014-09-03 13:37:45 <wumpus> agree on that

992 2014-09-03 13:38:30 <jgarzik> wumpus, Sure... I agree that "MIT/X11" is not correct... IMO it's bike-shedding over license name. We can call it any name we want.
993 2014-09-03 13:39:01 <jgarzik> sipa, That's fine. We can go that route.
994 2014-09-03 13:39:08 <wumpus> but it makes sense that the actual terms are what matter here, otherwise you could just look up anyone who calls their license a certain name...
995 2014-09-03 13:39:12 <jgarzik> sipa, Any change should be approved by a lawyer, then.
996 2014-09-03 13:39:23 <wumpus> and COPYING, as well as that link never changed

999 2014-09-03 13:40:21 <jgarzik> sipa, BlueMatt's pull changed the license text.
1000 2014-09-03 13:40:24 <sipa> jgarzik: not arguing with that
1001 2014-09-03 13:40:50 <sipa> jgarzik: but i wonder whether doing the opposite (changing the "MIT/X11") wouldn't require that too
1002 2014-09-03 13:41:25 <sipa> not saying that's likely - i agree that the actual text probably takes precedence
1003 2014-09-03 13:42:07 <wumpus> the MIT/X11 header was already in the very first commit, it was not added later
1004 2014-09-03 13:42:43 <wumpus> COPYING was called license.txt back then, but contents were the same
1005 2014-09-03 13:42:59 <wumpus> so this conflict always existed and we just propagated it to more files...

1033 2014-09-03 14:13:12 <wumpus> to add to confusion
1034 2014-09-03 14:13:28 <Luke-Jr> the X11 license ends with "Except as contained in this notice, the name of the X Consortium shall not be used in advertising or otherwise to promote the sale, use or other dealings in this Software without prior written authorization from the X Consortium. X Window System is a trademark of X Consortium, Inc." *outside* the list of terms/clauses
1035 2014-09-03 14:13:36 <Luke-Jr> otherwise it is word-for-word identical

1038 2014-09-03 14:14:41 <Luke-Jr> so, the terms are the same, just the X11 project had an additional clarification in the file that it didn't apply to their trademark
1039 2014-09-03 14:14:49 <wumpus> so it is clear that Satoshi thought MIT and X11 licenses were the same thing, so he mentions both in the file headers
1040 2014-09-03 14:15:29 <Luke-Jr> there are actually 2 versions of the MIT license, the earlier one being GPL-incompatible and different from X11 license; but listing both seems clear he meant the newer one
1041 2014-09-03 14:16:33 banghouse has joined
1042 2014-09-03 14:16:37 <wumpus> that message "Except as contained in this notice, the name of the X Consortium shall not be used in advertising or otherwise to promote the sale, use or other dealings in this Software without prior written authorization from the X Consortium" wouldn't make sense in our case anyway
1043 2014-09-03 14:16:47 <Luke-Jr> right
1044 2014-09-03 14:17:11 <wumpus> so anyhow, this is a storm in a glass of water, nothing is harmed by calling it MIT/X11
1045 2014-09-03 14:17:40 <wumpus> although for new files I'd prefer if it was just called MIT, to not propagate Satoshi's confusion on the subject
1046 2014-09-03 14:17:41 <Luke-Jr> IMO nothing is harmed, correct
1047 2014-09-03 14:17:59 <Luke-Jr> really it only matters when/if someone tries it in court
1048 2014-09-03 14:18:05 <Luke-Jr> which frankly, is never going to happen
1049 2014-09-03 14:18:44 <Luke-Jr> and if it did, I have little doubt the court would see the "MIT/X11" to refer to the terms in the X11/MITv2 licenses
1050 2014-09-03 14:18:45 <earlz> Satoshi is going to come back, cash out all his bitcoins and sue everyone using it ROFL
1051 2014-09-03 14:19:08 <Luke-Jr> earlz: you can't win lawsuit unles the terms were violated and you convince a court of that
1052 2014-09-03 14:19:26 <Luke-Jr> earlz: the only way to violate this license is to strip the copyright notice
1053 2014-09-03 14:19:44 <Eliel> Luke-Jr: you could also try distributing just binaries :P

1116 2014-09-03 15:10:00 <justanot1eruser> petertodd: so the answer isn't to get it to work partitioned, but to unpartition

1120 2014-09-03 15:10:28 <justanot1eruser> intuitively it seems to me that there wouldn't be a way to get it to work partitioned
1121 2014-09-03 15:10:34 <epscy> justanot1eruser: i think the answer is no
1122 2014-09-03 15:10:36 <petertodd> justanot1eruser: yup, bitcoin absolutely depends on global consensus; there's no alternative to that
1123 2014-09-03 15:10:54 m0gliEz has joined
1124 2014-09-03 15:11:17 <petertodd> justanot1eruser: even schemes that appear to partition the blockchain, treechains, sharding, whatever, don't work in the face of physical partitioning
1125 2014-09-03 15:11:26 <hearn> justanot1eruser: it could survive as two separate currencies with each side being worth less
1126 2014-09-03 15:11:42 <justanot1eruser> hearn: I think only one of the sides would be worth less
1127 2014-09-03 15:11:53 <hearn> depends if you could spend your coins on both sides or not
1128 2014-09-03 15:11:55 <epscy> hearn: wouldn't unpartitioning then screw things up?
1129 2014-09-03 15:12:17 <hearn> yes they'd be unmergable at that point. but i suspect a large fork would eventually become unresolvable even if the partition went away

1134 2014-09-03 15:12:47 <hearn> at that point it'd make sense for the island dwellers to deliberately hard-fork themselves out of the consensus for good
1135 2014-09-03 15:13:01 <petertodd> it's not practically possible to have both sides stay partitioned geographically, as there's no way to prevent miners in the wrong place from mining the coin
1136 2014-09-03 15:13:12 <justanot1eruser> I was hoping there was some idea maybe involving proof of being in that location based on some computation based on light speed
1137 2014-09-03 15:13:51 <petertodd> justanot1eruser: yeah, I had that one, the problem is it relies on a trusted, centralized, third party to perform that speed of light measurement
1138 2014-09-03 15:13:54 <epscy> hearn: i mean, it seems like a situation that wouldn't last for very long, difficult to imagine not knowing you are partitioned, and if txes could get reversed upon unpartitioning who will accept payment?
1139 2014-09-03 15:14:10 <hearn> only double spends would get reversed
1140 2014-09-03 15:14:39 <hearn> depending on the circumstances, you might be able to muddle through with just threatening double spenders with big sticks, for example. not really sustainable or ideal but for short term partitions ....
1141 2014-09-03 15:14:54 <wumpus> and transactions based on coinsbases of blocks that don't make it

1150 2014-09-03 15:16:54 <wumpus> it is clear that partitioning should be avoided, luckily there are many ways to do that
1151 2014-09-03 15:17:14 <sipa> well, in case of a big partitioning, and both sides disagree about which side should be accepted, there is of course an easy solution: declare war!
1152 2014-09-03 15:17:28 <petertodd> indeed, having less miner centralization, even just more distributed pools w/o real management-level decentralization, is a big improvement in reliability

1159 2014-09-03 15:21:00 <hearn> we might be going to witness the first partition thanks to china, i guess

1195 2014-09-03 15:37:37 <hearn> they can do whatever they like to it really because most chinese are not going outside the firewall anyway
1196 2014-09-03 15:38:10 <petertodd> I've talked to actual tor devs about this... china has huge numbers of succesful tor users, the issue is making it friendly enough for new users, esp. technically unsophisticated ones
1197 2014-09-03 15:38:22 <hearn> this must be some new definition of "huge" i haven't encountered before.
1198 2014-09-03 15:38:32 <timothy> tor browser is friendly for anybody

1201 2014-09-03 15:39:08 <petertodd> of course, all this works only because china's policy towards the internet is that using Tor, etc. is essentially *legal*, so individual users aren't worried about getting caught all that much; I'd be scared to try the same in North Korea
1202 2014-09-03 15:39:10 <hearn> usage wise tor gets kicked in the teeth by commercial VPN services. they're a lot friendlier and easier to use, even though the most popular one puts adverts into unencrypted web pages ....
1203 2014-09-03 15:40:02 <petertodd> hearn: you mean in china or in general?
1204 2014-09-03 15:40:06 <hearn> in general
1205 2014-09-03 15:40:22 <hearn> china might even be the opposite, i don't remember any country specific stats that i've seen (i mean outside the tor metrics page)
1206 2014-09-03 15:40:41 <wumpus> well if commercial VPN providers work, why not use them...

1211 2014-09-03 15:41:20 <hearn> they just want to reach youtube or twitter or whatever site their asshole government blocked
1212 2014-09-03 15:41:27 <hearn> they don't care if the usa or us companies can spy on their traffic.
1213 2014-09-03 15:41:27 <timothy> most users use 1234 as password
1214 2014-09-03 15:41:29 <wumpus> timothy: well, same if you use the unencrypted web over tor...
1215 2014-09-03 15:41:40 <petertodd> right, and VPN services have significantly reduced privacy properties, the Tor devs know exactly why those VPN services are user friendly and aren't willing to make the compromises necesary to get to that level of usability. relations between Tor and VPN services are pretty good - mullvad was at the same Tor meeting I was at two months ago for instance
1216 2014-09-03 15:41:44 <timothy> yes, but you can't know WHO is using this connection
1217 2014-09-03 15:41:52 <hearn> yes indeed.
1218 2014-09-03 15:41:58 <hearn> they have decided not to compete in that space.

1220 2014-09-03 15:42:54 <petertodd> Tor's funding is aimed at a higher security level than VPN, so it's not surprising they haven't decided to "compete"

1222 2014-09-03 15:43:46 <petertodd> anyway, they're still looking at ways to integrate Tor, VPN's, Bitcoin etc. to make traffic analysis of everything more difficult

1226 2014-09-03 15:46:38 <petertodd> for instance, mullvad had a fascinating idea of operating for-pay Tor/VPN entry nodes, paid for via bitcoin, and then allowing anyone to sell their internet access to act as those introduction points. in particular, install the mullvad client and the default would be you'd sell incoming bandwidth. the chinese firewall relies on identifying introduction points and blacklisting them, so when everyone is selling access that blacklisting becomes much ...
1227 2014-09-03 15:46:44 <petertodd> ... more difficult, esp. with steganographic hiding of the traffic

1231 2014-09-03 15:50:28 <hearn> nah. not gonna happen, china can beat anything like that trivially. they are already auto-probing and blocking tor. google ran a project that had the right idea. let friends coordinate over sites that are too big to block (ignoring china for a moment) and use their friends internet connections via a chat client. from the pov of dpi it looks like video chat.
1232 2014-09-03 15:50:43 <hearn> this is good enough for turkey, iran, etc
1233 2014-09-03 15:50:49 <hearn> (the uk ....)
1234 2014-09-03 15:51:11 torsthaldo has joined
1235 2014-09-03 15:51:49 <wumpus> encoding it over video chat is a good idea too
1236 2014-09-03 15:51:54 <petertodd> that's exactly the kind of thing mullvad is working on, with an added incentive of money
1237 2014-09-03 15:52:50 <petertodd> anyway, china is limited by the problem that their economic productivity is going down because of all this internet blocking. obviously they could block everything north korea style if they wanted too, but they have to strike a balance.
1238 2014-09-03 15:53:19 <hearn> yeah, realistically i don't think decentralisation helps here. you want as much centralisation as possible, to ensure that censors have to cause massive collatoral damage to try and stop the tunnels. google, microsoft, maybe facebook have enough weight to pull it off. individuals don't, really.
1239 2014-09-03 15:53:40 <hearn> right. china will probably have to relax things a bit in the coming decades. they're already doing so in the shenzen free trade zone

1242 2014-09-03 15:56:20 <petertodd> china's massive brain drain to more free countries is an existential threat to the country
1243 2014-09-03 15:56:51 <wumpus> that assumes that the big players will want to cooporate with something like this in the first place, they may have enough weight to pull it off, but generally they just work with the countries they operate in
1244 2014-09-03 15:58:11 <petertodd> wumpus: "they" assumes those companies are monoliths - google is a great example of how the same company can both aid and hinder censorship in different departments
1245 2014-09-03 15:58:19 <hearn> yeah it's a tightrope walk. push too hard and the whole company gets blocked.

1248 2014-09-03 15:58:45 <wumpus> what incentive would google have to provide something like tor access?
1249 2014-09-03 15:58:47 <hearn> but for example, in iran, when we started encrypting all gmail connections they tried to block gmail entirely. that lasted a few days and then they gave up and restored access. too much pain

1254 2014-09-03 16:00:10 <hearn> tor access? none. something like tor is toxic to large companies, too much reputational damage. but as i said they explored smaller lighter weight ways to get through national firewalls, using social connections etc. well it was handed off to some university iirc, some kind of joint collaboration, but most of it was done in house. not sure what happened to it.
1255 2014-09-03 16:00:12 <wumpus> petertodd: agreed, they are far from monolithic, but in the end it's the money at the top making the decisions, and government make good customers

1260 2014-09-03 16:01:07 <hearn> anything that boils down to beating firewalls is very politically problematic of course in the west as well. lots of places want to filter traffic and get upset if they can't. that's why it took a long time to go SSL-by-default on web search
1261 2014-09-03 16:01:20 <hearn> they tried several times and were forced to back down each time
1262 2014-09-03 16:02:02 <hearn> i think now they have a service that lets non-ssl access be requested by subnet or something. can't remember the details. people can request to get their networks unencrypted, iirc. been a while since i looked at it though.

1496 2014-09-03 16:46:37 <jgarzik> hearn, indeed
1497 2014-09-03 16:47:33 <jgarzik> hearn, I want all wallets to include base "paychan" support, as an enabler. More people will be likely to build paychan services, if the wallets support it already.
1498 2014-09-03 16:48:09 <hearn> it'll be interesting to see how the different philosophies pan out. i've always implemented apps that contain small custom wallets i.e. embed the wallet in the app instead of the app in the wallet
1499 2014-09-03 16:49:12 <jgarzik> hearn, that tends to imply moving piles of money between apps, no? I've thought down that road a bit too... It is very useful to have money Right There, but the downside is forgotten money piles and a bunch of shuffling around
1500 2014-09-03 16:49:24 <jgarzik> and the problems inherent in added money shuffling
1501 2014-09-03 16:49:30 banghouse has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
1502 2014-09-03 16:49:43 <jgarzik> hearn, another positive is "sandboxing" -- a sub-wallet compromise cannot lead to loss of larger funds
1503 2014-09-03 16:49:44 <hearn> yes it does. however it means nobody is locked in to a particular wallet, and keeps the ui straightforward. in practice you just have an "empty wallet" button that takes an address.
1504 2014-09-03 16:50:00 <hearn> i mean a particular generic wallet

1507 2014-09-03 16:50:36 <hearn> that said, i've regrettably never encountered an app that uses bitcoin for anything interesting except the ones i wrote myself, and those are not yet "killer" :) so i don't know how much hassle moving the money around is in real life
1508 2014-09-03 16:50:40 banghouse has joined
1509 2014-09-03 16:51:00 <jgarzik> hearn, I like it because you can give a particular app a budget. "Google Play, you are provably allowed to spend 0.1 BTC, and it is provably impossible to go beyond that"
1510 2014-09-03 16:51:00 <sipa> hearn: that's the right approach i think; at least initially
1511 2014-09-03 16:51:09 <jgarzik> hearn, or subscription
1512 2014-09-03 16:51:16 <hearn> when matt and I did micropayment channels last year, we implemented both approaches actually
1513 2014-09-03 16:51:21 <sipa> hearn: the hard part is making the complex technology usable, i guess
1514 2014-09-03 16:51:31 <hearn> on mobile we extended Bitcoin Wallet by aschildbach and added an android IPC mechanism to let you reserve parts of the users balance
1515 2014-09-03 16:51:32 <jgarzik> Another major downside: Locking up more money, in total
1516 2014-09-03 16:51:35 <jgarzik> sipa, +1000
1517 2014-09-03 16:51:38 <hearn> there was a little permissions UI
1518 2014-09-03 16:51:51 <hearn> the apps themselves just asked the wallet app to build the micropayment channel

1523 2014-09-03 16:52:07 <hearn> on the desktop, i embedded a small wallet into the app as inter-process IPC in a cross platform manner is sort of sucky and not working that well
1524 2014-09-03 16:52:43 <jgarzik> hearn, yep. if you have some secure IPC, an app could request a budget, just like it requests storage ability.

1527 2014-09-03 16:52:51 <hearn> my gut sense is that on android having an uber-wallet that exposes APIs for apps to manipulate parts of the users funds is the way to go, because android has sandboxes and good IPC. on the desktop, embedding is easier.
1528 2014-09-03 16:53:06 <hearn> right. and android does, so that's what we implemented. the details were fiddly but it worked.
1529 2014-09-03 16:53:11 <jgarzik> hearn, +1 mobile
1530 2014-09-03 16:53:14 <hearn> the code is on some old obsolete branch
1531 2014-09-03 16:53:19 <jgarzik> hearn, on desktop, it is moving to mobile-like app centric
1532 2014-09-03 16:53:34 <jgarzik> desktop just moves that way more slowly
1533 2014-09-03 16:53:34 <hearn> perhaps one day i'll be able to raise funds to play with micropayments again and go back and finish it off this time
1534 2014-09-03 16:53:43 <hearn> arguably desktops have always been app centric :)
1535 2014-09-03 16:54:31 <jgarzik> hearn, Would you accept a stable position w/ stable salary, that just paid you to "be Mike Hearn, produce bitcoin code and speak about bitcoin-related topics"?
1536 2014-09-03 16:54:47 <jgarzik> raise funds on project-by-project basis is just burdensome
1537 2014-09-03 16:54:51 <hearn> well, i thought about that when i quit google, but figured it'd be more fun to explore how to scale things up
1538 2014-09-03 16:55:01 <jgarzik> whoops, gotta pick up kid, bbiah

1541 2014-09-03 16:55:38 <hearn> but if it doesn't work out, then maybe that's the direction i'll go in for sure

1582 2014-09-03 17:33:37 <Luke-Jr> ONLY in Debian
1583 2014-09-03 17:33:41 <BlueMatt> wumpus: so the header should be clarified to point to the right license?
1584 2014-09-03 17:33:46 <BlueMatt> Luke-Jr: ok, MIT/Expat
1585 2014-09-03 17:33:51 <wumpus> BlueMatt: isn't worth changing all files for IMIO
1586 2014-09-03 17:34:06 <BlueMatt> wumpus: so...live with clearly inconsistent licensing?
1587 2014-09-03 17:34:09 <wumpus> BlueMatt: *new* files on the other hand should have non-confusing licensing
1588 2014-09-03 17:34:09 <Luke-Jr> BlueMatt: X11 has no additional clauses, just a clarification about trademark use
1589 2014-09-03 17:34:12 <BlueMatt> also, its only headers...
1590 2014-09-03 17:34:14 <wumpus> BlueMatt: yes
1591 2014-09-03 17:34:51 <BlueMatt> wumpus: changing all files sucks, when it conflicts....but it doesnt

1596 2014-09-03 17:35:50 <Luke-Jr> GNU page about the X11 license: "This license is sometimes called the MIT license, but that term is misleading, since MIT has used many licenses for software."
1597 2014-09-03 17:36:17 <sipa> i have heard to many different opinions now
1598 2014-09-03 17:36:19 <sipa> *too
1599 2014-09-03 17:36:29 <sipa> can we maybe ask someone who actually knows? :)
1600 2014-09-03 17:36:38 <BlueMatt> wumpus: read the text..."Distributed under the MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying file COPYING"
1601 2014-09-03 17:36:47 <BlueMatt> it doesnt say "distributed under the terms in COPYING"
1602 2014-09-03 17:36:55 <BlueMatt> so...its clearly ambiguous
1603 2014-09-03 17:37:09 <sipa> lawyers may or may not disagree
1604 2014-09-03 17:37:13 <BlueMatt> Luke-Jr: hence, expat
1605 2014-09-03 17:37:30 <Luke-Jr> BlueMatt: are you saying a judge is going to look at that and say "oh no, what COPYING says is irrelevant - it meant the *other* MIT license"
1606 2014-09-03 17:37:53 <Luke-Jr> sipa: lawyers didn't choose the license, we did
1607 2014-09-03 17:37:57 <BlueMatt> Luke-Jr: no, I'm saying someone is going to see this and have to scratch their heads
1608 2014-09-03 17:38:01 <BlueMatt> if it gets to a judge, you've lost
1609 2014-09-03 17:38:18 <sipa> Luke-Jr: and if we're arguing about it now, it means that "we" actually don't know what "we" meant

1613 2014-09-03 17:38:53 <wumpus> nope, the terms of the license matter, not how it's named

1620 2014-09-03 17:40:12 <BlueMatt> 1
1621 2014-09-03 17:40:21 <Luke-Jr> "MIT" is sometimes ambiguous. "X11" is not. both are the same terms.
1622 2014-09-03 17:40:59 <BlueMatt> Luke-Jr: what? how do you read that st. the last sentence is not a term???
1623 2014-09-03 17:41:07 <BlueMatt> well, condition in the language of the license
1624 2014-09-03 17:41:11 <Luke-Jr> "MIT/X11", if they were held to be different, could only reasonably mean "MIT or X11", which allows us to drop one or the other if we want
1625 2014-09-03 17:41:12 <sipa> can we stop this discussion?
1626 2014-09-03 17:41:20 <sipa> it is heading nowhere
1627 2014-09-03 17:41:43 <wumpus> Luke-Jr: satoshi was confused and thought it referred to the same license
1628 2014-09-03 17:41:51 <Luke-Jr> BlueMatt: that last paragraph makes reference back to the actual terms, and just restates what is already in trademark law
1629 2014-09-03 17:41:55 <Luke-Jr> wumpus: it does
1630 2014-09-03 17:42:15 <sipa> not according to wikipedia!
1631 2014-09-03 17:42:22 <sipa> the epitome of truth
1632 2014-09-03 17:42:22 <wumpus> anyhow, with all this license talk it's getting more like #oracle
1633 2014-09-03 17:42:25 <BlueMatt> not according to wikipedia, debian, or gnu

1637 2014-09-03 17:42:53 <BlueMatt> wumpus: we cant leave it inconsistent
1638 2014-09-03 17:42:56 <sipa> if someone wants to get actual legal advice on this, i'd like to hear it
1639 2014-09-03 17:42:59 <wumpus> we can
1640 2014-09-03 17:43:07 <Luke-Jr> wumpus: GNU/FSF think it's the same license, Gentoo thinks it's the same license. I bet Debian uses "Expat" for "X11-licensed" software.
1641 2014-09-03 17:43:09 <sipa> otherwise it's just speculation
1642 2014-09-03 17:43:45 <Luke-Jr> sipa: it's not speculation, because we are the copyright holders.
1643 2014-09-03 17:44:01 <sipa> we're not the only copyright holders

1774 2014-09-03 19:16:18 <gmaxwell> Having more implementations can be helpfulâ if you're being serious about them, in finding bugs, it's only the using of them that creates risk. :)
1775 2014-09-03 19:16:44 <gmaxwell> e.g. you might discover your implementation isn't necessarily consistent with itself.
1776 2014-09-03 19:16:52 <earlz> well, I think for concencus it's especially dangerous

1778 2014-09-03 19:17:28 <earlz> Any slight flaw in the implementation can easily make a fork. Of course, the same holds fro bitcoin, but I think mining instead of concencus makes it less of a problem

1781 2014-09-03 19:18:11 <gmaxwell> nah, mining doesn't make it less of a problem.
1782 2014-09-03 19:18:26 <rappo> gmaxwell: hey sorry to bother, wonder if you saw my prvmsg? :)
1783 2014-09-03 19:18:28 <gmaxwell> Bitcoin's rules are absolutely regardless of what the miners think.

1812 2014-09-03 19:35:01 <Arnavion> That did happen between 0.8 and 0.9

1814 2014-09-03 19:35:13 <Arnavion> There was a fork because 0.9 allowed bigger blocks than 0.8

1816 2014-09-03 19:35:45 <sipa> s/bigger blocks/blocks affecting too many UTXO entries simultaneously/
1817 2014-09-03 19:35:45 <Arnavion> It was some limitation in BDB used in 0.8 which 0.9 wasn't affected by because it started using LevelDB for that purpose

2019 2014-09-03 22:16:49 <sipa> (or start by moving CompareTo to the header, and see whether it has a performance impact)
2020 2014-09-03 22:18:07 <kdomanski__> I don't know about reliable measurement of the impact, but profiling tells me that this one gets called more often than 'malloc' and 'free' combined

2037 2014-09-03 22:28:20 <sipa> in the coins cache it should just be equality

2051 2014-09-03 22:31:45 <gmaxwell> I'd noticed mapblockindex being hit a lot, which was why I tried changing it to an unordered_mapâ though it didn't seem to help a lot, though I was mostly interested in memory usage.
2052 2014-09-03 22:32:08 <kdomanski> gmaxwell: well it does get confused by timing with cyclic calls, but actual number of calls should be fine
2053 2014-09-03 22:32:13 <gmaxwell> Right.
2054 2014-09-03 22:32:24 <gmaxwell> It also may be inlined at O3... our performance is noticably higher w/ O3.

2086 2014-09-03 22:48:19 <gmaxwell> memcmp returns an ordering, do we actually ever care about numerically ordering uint256s !?
2087 2014-09-03 22:48:28 <kdomanski> I'm seriously reassessing the merit of that last sentence
2088 2014-09-03 22:48:49 <sipa> gmaxwell: yes, for PoW checks
2089 2014-09-03 22:49:02 <kdomanski> sipa: yes, grep
2090 2014-09-03 22:49:18 <gmaxwell> on indeed. Nowhere else I think. And never should we care about how things are ordered in the rb tree.
2091 2014-09-03 22:49:28 <kdomanski> sipa: there's no way for std::whatever to use CompareTo directly

2118 2014-09-03 22:52:14 <gmaxwell> jrick: I don't think we ever use uint256 where an int could work.
2119 2014-09-03 22:52:29 <jrick> pow?
2120 2014-09-03 22:52:44 <gmaxwell> an int absolutely cannot work for pow.
2121 2014-09-03 22:52:46 <sipa> jrick: i think gmaxwell interprets 'int' as 'signed 32 bit integer'
2122 2014-09-03 22:52:56 <sipa> gmaxwell: i think jrick means 'integer' in the math sense
2123 2014-09-03 22:53:00 <jrick> yeah
2124 2014-09-03 22:53:41 <gmaxwell> Ah. Well, I still don't understand what you think POW should be doing.
2125 2014-09-03 22:53:53 <sipa> he thinks it should be using uint256
2126 2014-09-03 22:54:05 <sipa> but pretty much every other case could use 32-byte opaque arrays
2127 2014-09-03 22:54:27 <jrick> should is a strong word
2128 2014-09-03 22:54:37 <jrick> but that's the only place where it might make sense
2129 2014-09-03 22:54:42 <gmaxwell> ah! Yes, agreed.
2130 2014-09-03 22:55:07 <sipa> for chainwork we definitely need it (or some bignum at least)
2131 2014-09-03 22:55:16 <gmaxwell> jrick: I mean you can go and inline the same arithemetic since its the only place in the code.. but pow has to do the calculation it does.
2132 2014-09-03 22:55:26 <jrick> yeah
2133 2014-09-03 22:55:34 <gmaxwell> And yes, we need similar in chainwork.

2158 2014-09-03 23:00:07 <sipa> the point i guess is that if we'd use an opaque256 datastructure instead of uint256, with operator< etc, the implementation of those operators could be allowed to be platform-dependent
2159 2014-09-03 23:00:28 <sipa> so you could use memcmp everywhere
2160 2014-09-03 23:00:39 <sipa> and indeed, that is because you're bypassing the interpretation as an integer

2174 2014-09-03 23:02:38 <gmaxwell> yea, don't want to fail to work on TMS320c55.
2175 2014-09-03 23:02:45 * sipa googles
2176 2014-09-03 23:02:58 <gmaxwell> (I'm very proud that opus runs on platforms where char is 16 bits :))
2177 2014-09-03 23:03:08 <sipa> You're a sick human being.
2178 2014-09-03 23:04:44 <gmaxwell> on c55 DSPs most everything is 16 bits, except it has a long long that is 32 bits... which is only fast for some operations.
2179 2014-09-03 23:05:12 <gmaxwell> and since char is 16 bits, sizeof works in ways you might not expect.

2182 2014-09-03 23:05:29 <kdomanski> does gcc automagically use SIMD instructions?
2183 2014-09-03 23:05:50 <gmaxwell> (and it has a 40 bit long long...)
2184 2014-09-03 23:06:00 <jrick> lol what?
2185 2014-09-03 23:06:01 <jaakkos_> kdomanski: if -O level is high enough, yes

2190 2014-09-03 23:06:25 <gmaxwell> kdomanski: yes, when arch supports it (e.g. x86_64) in builtins, and in general code in O3 or better.
2191 2014-09-03 23:06:55 <jaakkos_> kdomanski: you could use eg. -ftree-vectorizer-verbose to see if it's doing something
2192 2014-09-03 23:07:21 JWU42 has joined
2193 2014-09-03 23:07:40 <gmaxwell> jaakkos_: things like memcpy / memcmp etc. get replaced by builtins which may be vectorized even without -ftree-vectorizer-verbose showing anything.
2194 2014-09-03 23:08:09 <gmaxwell> (under some conditions, e.g. the memcmp builtin requires the size to be known statically)

2196 2014-09-03 23:08:52 <kdomanski> gmaxwell: sure, but I'm interested in cases where for example a comparison is iterated in a loop
2197 2014-09-03 23:09:44 <kdomanski> jaakkos_: googling that flag was super-informative, thanks

2199 2014-09-03 23:10:29 <gmaxwell> kdomanski: the simd code generated by -ftree-vectorizer is only so so much of the time. If there is a true hostspot where were comparing many things in a loop, we might want to consider doing something else.
2200 2014-09-03 23:11:04 <gmaxwell> (basically it often manages to get a 4x speedup, and then lose half of it due to register mismanagement)

2206 2014-09-03 23:13:00 <gmaxwell> Yea, inlining _compile_to might have poor icache effects.
2207 2014-09-03 23:14:04 <kdomanski> it woud probably be extremely funny had I studied CS
2208 2014-09-03 23:14:39 <sipa> gmaxwell: you really want _compile_to to be constexpr

2220 2014-09-03 23:29:41 <sipa> compile with -O1 or so?
2221 2014-09-03 23:29:54 <kdomanski_> obviously
2222 2014-09-03 23:30:09 <gmaxwell> yea, I've done this, you'll cry.

2242 2014-09-03 23:37:27 <uiop> kdomanski_: loop unswitching (-funswitch-loops) moves a (loop-invariant) branch outside the loop by making two specialized copies of loop and doing the test once
