Lately I have been focusing on optimizing Fennec startup on a delightfully inadequate platform: Windows Mobile. More on fascinating startup, performance problems and solutions later. As a result I have been doing relatively little static analysis stuff. The main reason for taking a break is that I feel that I went from having no way [...]

It seems that there is some confusion as to what pork is and how it’s related to oink and elsa. So here is my view of it. Pork is my set of tools that use Elsa to rewrite sourcecode (mainly Mozilla code). Our use of Pork is solely for rewriting as it is not suited [...]
