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 > revisit this a couple years down the line. I noticed bug 484714 and I'm wondering if we can consider -fstack-protector-strong
yes, i mentioned strong in the referenced bug already *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 484714 ***
(In reply to SpanKY from comment #1) > yes, i mentioned strong in the referenced bug already 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
(In reply to Agostino Sarubbo from comment #2) the bug is about enabling SSP by default. the exact flag used is immaterial.
