Yes that is fair.

The man pages for riscv are in desperate need of attention.

The hint address design of mmap is a tricky one because it is largely implementation defined and what the man pages say is not how it is implemented in most architectures! > > The goal of this patch is to help > > developers have more consistent mmap behavior, but maybe it is necessary > > to hide this behavior behind an mmap flag. > Thank you for helping to shape a more consistent mmap behavior. > I think this should be fixed ASAP either by allowing the hint address to be > ignored > (as suggested by the Linux man page), or hide this behavior behind an mmap > flag as you said. Having a flag could also lead to a generic way of defining this behavior. Other architectures do not provide a way for applications to guarantee that some number of bits are left unused in a virtual address, and that was one of the motivating design goals here. - Charlie > > > - Charlie > > > > > See alsohttps://github.com/riscv-forks/electron/issues/4 > > > > > > > > - Charlie > > > Sincerely, > > > Levi > > >
