> Oracle is unlikely to re-license (or dual license) DTrace under the GPL, so that it could be merged into the mainline Linux kernel. [...] What Oracle is likely to do is ship a kernel module targeting their Oracle Linux kernel that provides the DTrace support. Thanks, but no thanks.

Undefined. x is modified multiple times in a single expression without an intervening sequence point. Back when I used to read comp.lang.c, variants of this were asked at last once per week. eg: int i = 0; i = i++; What's i equal to now? Undefined for the same reason: modified twice without a sequence point.

You could create new versions of a definition from any earlier version. The version history is not linear at all, it's rather a tree. Backporting is just applying selected changes to an earlier version and using the result.

So are the operating systems. Any well-designed system will consist of well-defined modules, but it still counts as one monolithic system (a large website, a commercial desktop app, an online tax return processing system). So I guess having a module over 20k lines of code is crazy, but having a system over 20k lines of...

Heh :) So I think that's a definition of "OS thread", not "thread", but I'm happy to concede that common usage (and even the wikipedia definition) uses "thread" in that context. The problem is that this definition is too implementation-focussed. It's a bit like having a definition of "alphabet" that specifies a part...

One of the arguments in the complaint is that for some of the old timezone information, it's a matter of subjective interpretation based on historical research, rather than pure facts, and that those interpretations are copyrightable.
