Since I've been working in C++ a lot recently I decided to watch the video as I waited for a build to complete. So the length is about right. And fortunately, the video is a delight!
- zeafoamrun 4mo agoI have read as much as I can on the history of C++ and I'm looking forward to watch this. I find the process of it's evolution deeply fascinating.
- tonyedgecombe 4mo agoI feel drawn to watch it in the same way I was drawn to watch Breaking Bad.
- abcd_f 4mo ago> the process of it's (sic) evolution deeply fascinating. ... as it is disappointing. Not everything that can be done should be done.
- stackghost 4mo agoWow is this just a shitpost (it was funny!) or do your builds actually take about an hour? That's nuts, if so.
- wavemode 4mo agoA fresh build of a large C++ project taking 1 hour does not sound strange at all. If that's an incremental build though (i.e. simply rebuilding after changing a few files), there's something very wrong.
- darknavi 4mo agoFASTBuild has been a game changer for our team recently if you have extra hardware sitting around. https://www.fastbuild.org/docs/home.html https://www.fastbuild.org/docs/home.html
- surajrmal 4mo agoYour org needs better distributed build caching if you can't get that number lower. All builds should be "incremental" with appropriate caching.
- wavemode 4mo agoNot everyone in the world who compiles a C++ project is necessarily doing so for an "org"
- account42 4mo agoIt does if you have an even remotely reasonably specced development machine.
- bdamm 4mo agoYes, although in all honesty the actual compilation is somewhat small compared to the many layers of unit, simulation, integration, and regression tests. All those corner cases take a long time to explore.
