What I wonder about here is at which cost this does come, when looking |
| 17 |
at the fstack-protector then I see that it "emits extra code"; so, now |
| 18 |
the question is what kind of overhead this causes. |

I am pretty sure security might not be that important on a real time |
| 21 |
system that perhaps isn't connected to the internet; so, besides making |
| 22 |
it the default, we might want to introduce the necessary means to turn |
| 23 |
it off again, by the very least perhaps documentation would suffice. |

Do you intend to discuss that flag or more generally any security flag? |
