Terminology is hard :) As mentioned in the bof we can make sure that the build is deterministic or we can record sources of randomness (gettimeofday calls etc.) and then replay then in subsequent builds. Would that still qualify as deterministic for you? See the references I added for deterministic virtual machines, their fight agaist the rdtsc instruction is exactly the same that we have with gettimeofday :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
