I used them. But they’re still runtime-only.

No they don't. You can run anything you like on them.

Gordonjcp | karma 1157 | avg karma 0.59 · | 2023-07-02 15:27:09

Yes, and the open-source ones are not accelerated, and the closed-source ones don't work.

oh_sigh | karma 6383 | avg karma 0.89 · | 2023-02-25 22:43:05

No, but the people who programmed them probably did so on a linux machine with GBs of RAM and GHzs of CPU

emodendroket | karma 21781 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2018-06-14 20:23:52+00:00

Yes, and they provide a fraction of the functionality.

exabrial | karma 16024 | avg karma 2.67 · | 2024-05-07 15:13:51

absolutely not, and even if they were, they are not documented in the least bit and require extraordinary custom OS and other BLOBs to run

They were clearly marked as experimental in the documentation all the way up to recent 5.8 releases. From what I hear they work fine now.

piranha | karma 818 | avg karma 3.23 · | 2013-05-28 05:25:06+00:00

Yes, but they still are great and unmodified originals are often hard to run. :P

ric2b | karma 1145 | avg karma 0.83 · | 2023-12-07 04:48:43

They run on basically any confumer device, so no.

sayhello | karma 417 | avg karma 3.53 · | 2018-08-21 15:18:24

Correct. We do not use ptrace in production.

enscr | karma 499 | avg karma 1.43 · | 2014-03-07 16:31:45+00:00

Yes, but any capable company would use them after buying them.

biorach | karma 1801 | avg karma 3.18 · | 2023-01-02 05:56:30

Basically, yes.

I believe some are no longer supported, but are still in use internally.

eropple | karma 27047 | avg karma 2.87 · | 2012-12-02 17:42:14

These particular ones, likely not. It was more of a general observation about performance when dealing with crippled environments like Dalvik.

andrewflnr | karma 11547 | avg karma 2.11 · | 2017-04-02 07:33:54+00:00

Of course not. I only need them in my workshop/foundry/dev machine.

PeterisP | karma 22789 | avg karma 2.57 · | 2021-06-15 09:21:26

No, it's not used or usable in production due to performance reasons.

jdironman | karma 437 | avg karma 1.38 · | 2020-12-15 03:16:37+00:00

They were optional. I know a company still using a version from 2015/2016.

gpderetta | karma 12081 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2021-05-11 10:27:59+00:00

Yes, and boost.units, and to a limited extent, std::chrono.

sschueller | karma 21616 | avg karma 4.57 · | 2022-07-20 07:01:29

Yes, although I think they were shared in vms?

smabie | karma 4907 | avg karma 1.76 · | 2020-06-25 18:18:12+00:00

Yes, but runc includes the headers for you.

saagarjha | karma 56017 | avg karma 2.29 · | 2020-04-23 18:43:20+00:00

Yes, but those are for single-use exemptions. Outside developers can still disable those entirely.
