So what happens at the very first boot (e.g. after system installation, or cloud instance just being spawned)? Is that the only circumstance where it would be OK to block? Does Ope…

Yes; C++20 seems likely. See https://isocpp.org/std/status

You can see this in action on musl source code, which is arguably a much more readily understandable implementation of libc: - Function that actually parses /etc/hosts is name_from…

In the very same post where Google announced Java 8 being generally available on GAE standard [1], they also stated Java 9 support was already in the works. Of course, actual timel…
