Merge 'aslr' into HEAD
Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) allows executables' memory layout to change at random between runs, and therefore offers a quite decent protection against many attacks. We enable ASLR because MSYS2's C compiler offers support for ASLR, and whatever performance impact it has is neglible, according to https://insights.sei.cmu.edu/cert/2014/02/differences-between-aslr-on-windows-and-linux.html This merges the part of #612 that does not break Git ;-) This fixes #608 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
