since when the fuck did I become *this kind of developer*? I just said to a friend:
> I could talk about what I'm working on right now, which is patching gcc to avoid O_DIRECTORY parameters in open(2) syscalls and locally declaring madvise(3C) in src/gcc/cp/module.cc since sys/mman.h doesn't allow for madvise() calls even after being included, probably due to C++ symbol scoping or something
And I..... since when do I know all that shit?

@freya@social.highenergymagic.net the madvise might need a specific # define before the # include

@freya@social.highenergymagic.net I find that the best way to learn is often to try and fix some insane shit that has you crawling through everything. Before you know it, you’re an expert.
