Re: [cdt-dev] Parameter Guessing

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Considering the amount of patches you needed to post, the fact we don't have a good handle on this feature, and that the tests weren't actually giving us proper feedback, we should give up on this for 9.0 at this very late stage.

Are we currently dealing with a half working situation? We need to turn it off in a consistent manner so it can be brought in for 9.1.  Are any changes needed for that? Could they cause more damage than good?

Thanks Nathan for dealing with this and Jonah for finding the issue.

I posted some patches that fix parameter guessing. Not sure if we want to consider taking them for RC4...
