Hi Bakul,
Refactoring, code cleanup and fixing memory leaks are worthy goals.
But that can take lots of time and volunteers.
True, but GC would just be papering over some of those cracks. :-)
Besides, without it the source will continue to suffer bit rot and
whatever the UI equivalent is when its orthogonality degrades.
Arguably, it wasn't up to having MIME added.
It works! Well, simpler programs work. scan(1) SEGVs, ditto
folder(1). But I could play around a bit, comparing it to the
installed nmh-git 1.7+dev.r4298-1 in /bin.
This is promising! Segfaults likely point to genuine bugs.
Yes, they're definitely there to be pointed at. :-)
$ inst() { perf stat -e instructions "$@" |&
> awk '/instructions:u/ {print $1}' | tr -d ,; }
Presumably this counts actual instructions executed?
Yes, perf-stat(1) and perf-list(1). It's the CPU's own count of
instructions. Limiting `perf stat' to just that with -e ensures it's
accurate instead of sampled as stat otherwise tries to measure more
things than the local hardware may allow.
