hrm... there isn't a way with USCSI to direct a CDB down a specific path of a multipath device, is there?

you can disable other path

but otherwise it depends if you have A/A or A/PG

hm.. i see an undocumented USCSI_PATH_INSTANCE and uscsi_path_instance in struct uscsi_cmd (ulong)..

it looks like the instance#s are maybe just assigned from a global int that's just incremented every time a new path is created

hm... stupid spam detectors somehow illumos-advocates mail ended in junk.:(

i've had that happen a few times

What would it take to compile illumos-gate with Clang?

a lot.

presumably the first step would be to take the illumos-specific gcc patches and figure out how to implement them in an illumos-specific clang

it is not hopeless, it has been improving, but it still needs effort. the compiler patches are to provide some specific features we want to have, those are not quite needed if you want to just build the code.

once in a time we had assembler course in uni and to get to complete it one guy was tasked with chess related problem. when time was up, he had really beautiful chessboard drawn on screen, but problem was still not solved;)

they obviously hadn't mastered the tao of programming.

alanc: the illumos-specific patch that matters is msave-args, which is also the hard one, but is only relevant to running.

I have marginal faith it is more readily implemented as a clang plugin than a gcc one

well, an llvm plugin really

it looks like openbsd added it to clang/llvm, though not as a plugin

then perhaps you can't do it there, either.

but that's good to know. I hope tsoome knows too

havent checked that much:)

but here we are;)

obviously not all of the work, but at least the hint suggesting it's there

hadfl: You might be interested in this too

oh :)

obviously i've also not used it, so caveat developer :P

conditor?

*shrug* no idea :)
