14:01 < btcdrak> wumpus: warren: I think it's time we made a bitcoin-core-dev specific mailing list.

14:03 < btcdrak> We need something low volume we can use to communicate with eachother. it can be moderated with known contributors whitelisted and have strict topic rules to prevent getting hijacked.

14:03 < btcdrak> there are a number of instances where posts would be better suited there as opposed to bitcoin-dev.

14:04 < btcdrak> warren: could you talk to the LF about it please? Hopefully there wont be as much red-tape as last time with the -discuss list.

15:34 < jonasschnelli> sipa: you probably know that: how can I compare (<, >) of buffers with variable lengths to distribute them in a red/black tree structure? Is the only way hashing the buffers?

15:39 < jonasschnelli> Or >/< buffer.length, if length equal, byte-per-byte compare (F > 0)?

15:40 < sipa> i'd suggest the latter

15:40 < sipa> what are the buffers?

15:42 < sipa> could an attacker control their contents?

15:45 < sipa> actually, for a red-black tree that is not really an issue

15:59 < jonasschnelli> sipa: Thanks... yes. The later seems to work...

15:59 < jonasschnelli> the buffers are holding "keys"

16:00 < jonasschnelli> I do simple map implementation in C

16:00 < jonasschnelli> (memory mapping for a wallet)

16:00 < jonasschnelli> similar to std::map mapWallet

16:00 < jonasschnelli> (but a bit more generic)
