Dear Daniel Schwierzeck,
In message 4EDC0A99.6090106@googlemail.com you wrote:
In general, standalone applications are a rarely used special feature, and the few people who actually ever used this for a purpose probably used custom code and custom linker scripts, so the mainline code is eventually not that good supproted.
the problem is those apps are always compiled. Maybe we should introduce a config option to enable building only if someone really needs them?
As is, they are rarely used, so they tend to collect bit-rot.
If we stop to even compile them, they wil rot much faster. This is not a good idea.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

In C we had to code our own bugs, in C++ we can inherit them.
