@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius pennae made progress on pointer equality and expanded all known cases we have in mind: https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/4556/3/tests/functional2/lang/eq/in-pointer-equality.nix 12:40:46
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusWe are planning to proceed with cl/4556 which is considered to be a breaking change.12:40:59
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusThe NaN behavior unsoundness is unfortunate but we will have to document it and accept it.12:41:14
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius piegames if you have some time to spare, it'd be helpful for us if you can sign-off on https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/4556 as well 12:44:39
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/pointer-equality contains exposition info 12:44:47
@piegames:flausch.socialpiegamesI'll try to have a look tomorrow13:14:27

Cursed not really serious idea - do pointer comparison as doubles, and make any object pointer which contains a nan, nan itself, and everything else not nan

@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius forgets this idea 17:21:28
