FreeBSD (future 13) following-up

Hi folks,

Probably some of the FreeBSD -current users had noticed already but clang/llvm 7.0.1 had been imported by @dim. By recompiling the whole system today, I was pleasantly surprised to see it happened sooner than I expected :-) Glad to see that the result of all the work I witnessed from a lot of talented people comes to reality in one of my preferred system ; even thought most of amazing new tools (like llvm-exegesis, llvm-mca) are only available via the package version ... I hope OpenBSD will follow.

While at LLVM, Kamil still continue his work on more BSD api interceptions and sometimes I help testing them. Planning to port for FreeBSD what is relevant once the "dust settles" a bit ... If you find, as I do, that his work is important, donating to the NetBSD foundation would not be superfluous.

So since, my little contribution to the mongo C driver had been accepted and merged, again it is more about bringing more equality with Linux. even though it is a bit more for professional purpose, still glad it landed for broader usage.

FreeBSD talks and the rest ...

Hi folks,

Last week, we did a Dtrace session as Dublin BSD meetup. Was again quite interesting, lot of exchanges and side discussions. Since we mentioned dtrace, it is hard to forget the other well known feature, so ZFS. Knowing Anton and his taste of going through real time demos and real use cases, it will be not less interesting for sure. For the autumn, I have some ideas to vary a bit we will see in due time :-) Before that, I have to show up in few places to meet other BSD folks during the summer :-)

As usual, few contributions of mine, some projects starting with open :-) like openage, openrct2 (here it is just an update), opentoonz which I plan to port to *BSD in general (nearly complete just fix some linkage issue with *blas libraries). Also, fixed one of the doom client engine, doomretro, especially the Mac OS part, tested at least dozen of times the first level of Doom II :-)
Couple of small build fixes here, there or this one  ... brought a bit of arc4random's spirit into libbson recently as well, which is used by mongodb based projects. There are other few submissions still on review and so on we will see :-)

Meanwhile, have a great beginning of summer especially outside of the continuously rainy Ireland ;-)
