This was great. Before Powder Game, there were several games in this genre, and a very active Falling Sand Game BBS forum. I got my start in programming by writing mods for one of those games, Burning Sand. I wonder if anyone from those forums is around here...

It should work on ARM with a couple of caveats:

* Stack tracing needs architecture-specific support which is currently only implemented for x86-64 and ppc64. It's not too hard to add for other architectures, so if this is a feature you need, please open a GitHub issue and I'll get around to it soon. * 32-bit ARM doesn't support /proc/kcore, so drgn can't do live kernel debugging on 32-bit ARM. This seems to be due to historical reasons rather than any technical limitations, so I may send a patch to enable /proc/kcore for future kernel releases. AArch64 doesn't have this issue.

Userspace application debugging with drgn also has a couple of limitations mentioned in the blog post, namely the lack of breakpoints and stack tracing for live processes. Again, feel free to open issues asking for these so I know to move them up my todo list.

Absolutely, same goes for anyone else who comes across this and is interested in kernel development.

The filesystem track at LSF/MM tends to focus on topics which impact more of the kernel than one specific filesystem, and we didn't have any of those topics for Btrfs this year. Plus, only a couple of the Btrfs developers were at LSF/MM this year, and we typically sync up via other means.

What problems have you had with Btrfs recently?

-fstrict-overflow is the opposite of what the parent comment was asking about. You want -fwrapv or -fno-strict-overflow.

File modes are typically written in octal, not hex.
