The GNU version of the awk text processing utility
504c03a37c
In very old versions of Fedora, it was enabled to build gawk with this library. More about this library can be found here: https://www.gnu.org/software/libsigsegv/ However, because of the BZ #524795 it was eventually disabled as a kind of workaround. It was then forgotten and was never re-enabled again. Even emacs developers noticed that in their's mailing list: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-09/msg00238.html They used this mistake as an argument, which was incorrect, but mainly was not right (nor cool :)). And because vanilla build of gawk, as well as Debian-like distributions, uses this feature, it was enabled again. AFAIK, there are no security implications that should prevent use of this library. |
