|
| GCC yes, but what about Visual Studio? The LLVM which ships with XCode?
| Javac?
|
| Those are much jucier targets than say, Debian's GCC. If I worked at the
| NSA, I'd make backdooring Visual Studio my 20% project.
|
| If anybody with Snowden cache access who is reading this could do me a
| quick favor and grep for 'compiler,' and then publish the output, I'd
| really appreciate it.
History says that Microsoft's problems with BSOD were dominated
by third party device drivers -- supposedly 85% of all XP BSODs.
And they are all are blobs.
