Believing in numbers and fair evaluation, I've compared RAP and LLVM-CFI. RAP is faster, LLVM-CFI is more precise. RAP is incredibly hard to use and its future is uncertain while LLVM-CFI is just a command line argument away. Details at nebelwelt.net/blog/20181226-… Comments welcome 🤗

- RAP doesn't blindly emit the corresponding type hash for a function either, it has to be address-taken or globally visible (this latter part can be solved too w/o LTO). [9/n]

Hm, it does emit a hash for my test. Maybe I did not study your source code enough. Then, I don't think you can expectant user who wants to use CFI to completely understand all the involved source code. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

did you read the 'or globally visible' part above?
