Hi! yesterday I received a [bug] report asking Qt to not requiring apps using it to pass -fPIC (actually to let the app use -fPIE) due to hardening reasons.
Now as we are using -reduce-relocations and gcc5 this is currently not possible at least until gcc's upstreams decide to add this as a [feature]. Now I would like to know if someone can enlight me as to where are the drawbacks of both options: reducing rellocations and not enabling "hardening" or the contrary, not reducing rellocations and enabling hardening. Of course I happily pointers to stuff to read, I'm just lost with this one. [bug] <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796166> [feature] <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65886#c30> Thanks in advance, Lisandro. -- Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer http://perezmeyer.com.ar/ http://perezmeyer.blogspot.com/
