<kyak> mirko: fyi, the problem with qt4 and linuxfb i mentioned a while ago (http://en.qi-hardware.com/irclogs/qi-hardware_2012-04-19.log.html#t15:47) was because i used sstrip instead of strip

<kyak> sstrip saves around 3.5% of image size
<kyak> but it is indeed pure evil
<whitequark> kyak: what does sstrip strip further?
<kyak> whitequark: as the description says, "removes the contents at the end of an ELF file that are not part of the program's memory image."
<kyak> but i'm not quite sure what it does exactly.. but it definitely breaks some things ocasiaonally
<kyak> for example, the binary file might not be detected as such anymore
<kyak> i think this was the case for qt4 linuxfb driver
<kyak> you may read the comments
<kyak> there are probably more comments than code :)
<kyak> hm, i just noticed that part of the program is one huge line. Why is it coded like that?
wej has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<whitequark> kyak: because
<whitequark> *because C programmers want metaprogramming, but their language is too crippled to do it properly ;)
<whitequark> it basically duplicates the body for 32-bit and 64-bit ELFs
wej has joined #qi-hardware
<kyak> so it's a huge define..
<kyak> it even has a name, X Macro

<kyak> wpwrak: just wondering, when you start hacking and it involves both hardware and software, which one of them do you start with?
rz2k has joined #qi-hardware
<wpwrak> that would depend on the dependencies. but usually the hardware is the first step.

<kyak> beer would be a step zero :)
sivoais has joined #qi-hardware
<wpwrak> heh, that's an idea :) tough wine (some hours earlier) tends to be more effective for hacking
