<pabs3>Linux kernel discussion on moving from C89 to C99 or C11/C17/C2x: https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/885941/28fc0d85e002eb86/

<pabs3>seems C11 was chosen, meaning updating the GCC requirement to 8.x

<bauen1>pabs3: you can still use an earlier version of linux, you'll have to (well, want to) compile up to the most recent version of all toolchain components anyway

<stikonas[m]>live-bootstrap already builds earlier version of linux (4.9.10) because newer kernel versions already have more stringent requirements on make, gcc and binutils that what is available early

<fossy>stikonas[m], i am running into similar reproducibility issues in qemu, not too sure what is going on just yet

<unmatched-paren>this looks useful for learning assembly: https://github.com/bergercookie/asm-lsp

<unmatched-paren>autocompletion and doc popups (extracted from the gas/nasm docs, i guess?) should really help with discovering instructions

<unmatched-paren>although it seems unmaintained..

<unmatched-paren>but here in bootstrapping land we are generally less resistant than other people to using unmaintained software :P

<unmatched-paren>it's build on top of an existing opcodes database, so i guess it'll be pretty complete
