Actually, the Change owners were prepared to give up. I was the one
that pushed for it to be reconsidered
I must say I find this rather odd. As you say there was an agreement on
moving forward without frame pointers. And as far as I could see there
was even an healthy discussion about alternative ways to get faster and
more accurate unwinding/backtracing between the profiling and
compiler/tools hackers.
I don't mind if you would re-try to get this change in for f39 or f40
if it turns out those discussions about alternative unwinders didn't
result in faster/better profilers.
But trying to do it while multiple stackholders were away and unaware
of this because it wasn't really announced doesn't feel good.
Cheers,
Mark
