memory and CPU time for certain input. Provide a variable
(CLANG_NO_VALUE_PROPAGATION_PASS) for selectively disabling it in those
places known to trigger it.
Qore is a modular, multi-threaded, SQL-integrated dynamically typed
scripting language with optional hard typing and procedural and
object-oriented features, powerful and easy-to-use data types,
structures, and operators, a clean and easy-to-lean/read syntax.
