Hack to make liveness work on Debian testing
A proper solution would be to make the liveness more robust, and in
particular the state equality mechanism. To that extend, we should
- change the code so that it computes a distance between states
instead of returning a simple boolean "it's different". That way,
we could know which states desserve a deeper debugging to
understand why equality detection is broken, simply by picking the
closest pair of states, that ought to be equal.
- Write a bunch of unit tests where we do 2 controled states and
compare their detected difference.
Maybe, we should trash all this code that is aging (no Dwarf5 support)
and is very complex anyway. A simpler way to get the same effects
could be to go through the compiler, and have clang generate a binary
that is fully introspectable. It sounds like a long and burdensome way
to go, however.
Hopefuly someone will do a library doing it in the future, so that we
just need to use their work.
