Plumbers conf presentation on -fanalyze?

[Nick Desaulniers]

Hi David,
Jose and I are currently in the planning process to put together a
Kernel+Toolchain microconference track at Linux Plumbers Conference
this year (Sept 12-14) in Dublin, Ireland.

We had seen
https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2022/04/12/state-static-analysis-gcc-12-compiler#scaling_up_the_analyzer
particularly the section on The Linux kernel and were wondering if
you'd be interested in presenting more information about -fanalyze to
kernel and toolchain developers there?

Thanks,
~Nick Desaulniers

Thanks!  I'm very much interested, but am not yet sure about travel
(both in terms of (a) budget and (b) possible new virus strains).  Is
this conference going to be purely in-person, or hybrid virtual/in-
person?

I didn't see an answer to that question on
https://lpc.events/event/16/page/185-faqs.
cc' James + Stephen who might be able to answer that more precisely
than I could.

It's going to be hybrid ... I thought we actually managed to announce
that but forgot to put it on the front page.  However, there is a
caveat: to minimize the risk of technical issues, we'd very much like
the content producers (speakers etc) to be in person.  This won't be a
blanket requirement but we'll be unhappy if you try to have a MC with
mostly virtual speakers for instance.

Yes, virtual will be mostly for audience participation, as there's so
many things that can go wrong with trying to present at a live event
virtually. This *is* the first time we are doing it, so the unknowns
are limitless.

Having a MC topic with a virtual host is fine, as long as there's
co-hosts that can still be there physically in case there's technical
issues.

Hi Nick

Thanks, I've registered to attend, and have submitted this abstract:

  https://lpc.events/event/16/abstracts/1293/

("GCC's -fanalyzer and the Linux kernel" #177)

Hope the above looks good.
