Overall, it does show that you made very little progress. Hey, I just checked my e-mail. I removed ~ files, binaries, git data etc, which is why I thought the last line made little sense. > You should try not only to fix problems in code already written, but > also make progress at further tasks each and every day. Buggy code doesn't help much. That said, I did focus on pthread_eintr today, rather than alloc. I'm pretty stuck with alloc. I just can't get it to work with musl. Valgrind is clean, strace says little (or perhaps I just can't interpret it well), and gdb - it just won't follow the second child, so I can't step through it as I hoped to do. > Maybe limit > your fixing of existing code to 4 hours per day (this sounds excessive > to me, but it works as an upper limit), and use the rest of time > (4+ hours per day since you need to work hard during the remaining GSoC > time) for writing new code. How does this sound to you? The thing is, writing code means writing bugs, so it's just a matter of time when the fine line is crossed. However, I'll try to take on other tasks as well - esp. those that Rich suggested. Luka
