What do you want to say?
Is this bad? I think this is desired. Only in c or c++ world people act like understanding how compiler internals work (often poorly) is desired
- pjmlp 1y agoWhere in the world reading a compiler manual means understanding compiler internals?!? One does not need to understand compiler internals to be aware what build flags are used to turn bounds checking on the standard library.
- throw-qqqqq 1y agoI have never known a situation where LESS knowledge about the compiler (flags, options, hell even internal workings) have been better - on the contrary.
- RossBencina 1y ago> Only in c or c++ world people act like understanding how compiler internals work (often poorly) is desired I think this says more about other parts of the developer ecosystem than about C and C++. Understanding how the compilers work (and how CPUs work) is fundamental to software development.
- tester756 1y ago>Understanding how the compilers work (and how CPUs work) is fundamental to software development. Well, you can get very, very far without understanding compiler passes and how CPUs work
