InPhase: yeah, i'm just annoyed and frustrated with it after all this effort. the windows dynamic override is touted as being especially robust
<peepsalot>
also i thought there would be more active devs for a ms project, but i've only seen the one interacting on github
<InPhase>
I'm getting the sense that MS is permitting google-like side projects now.
<peepsalot>
yeah i was wondering that too
<Scopeuk>
that seams particularly likely as they have two separate allocators in their repository on github
<Scopeuk>
it does seam that everything heavily leans into the visual studio build tool chain
<Scopeuk>
on the linker thing c++ linkers from memory are recursive they start with the main entry point and then loop through the dependencies list (ordered by goodness only knows) looking for anything that will satisfy a missing object, then add its dependencies to the list and loop looking for those, once that tree walk is done they go back to the master
<Scopeuk>
list of things that are missing
<Scopeuk>
which is to say "do as I say damnit" becomes tricky
<Scopeuk>
with Microsoft linker you can sometimes end up needing to turn off "default libs" and then import them again if you want different orders. I can't speak for the gcc tool chain on that one
<peepsalot>
the other annoying thing is the bin folder with prebuilt "minject.exe" tool and "mimalloc-redirect.dll" (no sources provided)

ok, openhub is enabled again, I suppose it may need some time to catch up. quoting the email: "The analysis was stalled due to an issue at our end. We have re-enabled the project and will continue to monitor this project until it finishes analysis."
<peepsalot>
nice, thanks teepee
<Scopeuk>
that sounds very much like a "we should have spotted and fixed this ourselfs" issue

teepee: the funniest thing to me from openhub is the summary that openscad is maintained by a "very large development team"
<teepee>
hehe, that was 2 years ago. lets see what the updated judgement is :)

Very large, active development team
<Scopeuk>
Over the past twelve months, 28 developers contributed new code to OpenSCAD. This is one of the largest open-source teams in the world, and is in the top 2% of all project teams on Open Hub.
<Scopeuk>
For this measurement, Open Hub considers only recent changes to the code. Over the entire history of the project, 143 developers have contributed.
<Scopeuk>
but it also claims the most recent commit was 2 years ago
<teepee>
yes, it's still showing the 2 year old data when they stopped tracking

teepee: thanks, i got a bad habit of going on refactoring tangents for PRs I work on. now I'm trying to clean up and split changes from my malloc branch into coherent PRs
