I have been contemplating trying to rely on them for compiling Python for testing purposes, especially with clang coming along (although I am waiting for them to address a bug I found =). Good to know they are responsive.<BR/><BR/>And yes, it is really unfortunate that Microsoft doesn't make reporting bugs easy, but I guess no one wants to deal with the number of reports they would most likely get. =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754007124078149155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-13201242466367168832008-01-21T23:24:00.000+01:002008-01-21T23:24:00.000+01:00Hi Brett,I think the project most receptive to bug...Hi Brett,<BR/><BR/>I think the project most receptive to bug reports is LLVM, where bugs that we find are usually fixed within a small number of days. I think in general Open Source projects react quite well, as you would expect. A negative example is graphviz, which still segfaults despite us producing a patch which fixes the problem.<BR/><BR/>Microsoft proves to be completely unapproachable, it seems <I>you</I> have to pay <I>them</I> if you want to report a bug (should be the other way round, of course :-)).Carl Friedrich Bolz-Tereickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518922641059511014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-46292053482371316692008-01-21T22:46:00.000+01:002008-01-21T22:46:00.000+01:00I'd be interested in knowing which projects were t...I'd be interested in knowing which projects were the most receptive to the bug reports.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754007124078149155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-17312590986516106662008-01-20T14:16:00.000+01:002008-01-20T14:16:00.000+01:00Can you, maybe, give a few examples of what you di...Can you, maybe, give a few examples of what you did.

That's pretty impressive.<BR/><BR/>I think you can probably add gdb to the list though.Michael Hudson-Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08800334898826186482noreply@blogger.com
