Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-04-22 15:36:24 UTC
Time ago we discussed it on -dev mailing list:

> There is a new option, -fstack-protector-strong, that's intended to be a 
> balance between the two extremes and something that distros can enable by 
> default. It was just added to mainline so it should be in GCC 4.9. So let's

I noticed bug 484714 and I'm wondering if we can consider -fstack-protector-strong

A bug could be a duplicate of another bug, not of a comment....

The original request was -fstack-protector and was activated in gcc-4.8.2-r1

the bug is about enabling SSP by default.  the exact flag used is immaterial.
