Should this patch be a workaround to existing releases rather than
the main line? As Brian mentions, lambda proxy class may become
inline class in valhalla repo (Roger has a patch already). The
earlier fixing those programs the better.
Indeed if we know this is landing in this cycle in the main repo
there's no point with my fix. Could you point me at the issue number
or mail thread where this patch is being discussed?
Progress continues on Valhalla, and this is clearly where things are
going, but integration is not imminent.
But, the main point here is: if the goal is to protect broken programs
that make incorrect identity assumptions, said protection is inherently
short-term; when Valhalla lands, all these programs will be broken, and
there will be no interest in punishing the other 99.999% of code just to
continue to coddle them. So we should be clear that this is at most a
short-term reprieve.
